• Senior Pastor Paul Frank

    I grew up in Iowa and had a career for many years in film and video production before the Lord began to guide me into the ministry. Along the journey God blessed me with my wife Kathy and our three awesome children – Sonjah (a vet tech here in AZ), Serenah (working on a degree in Christian Counseling in North Carolina and married to our son-in-law Ryan), and Tanner ( a combat medic in the Army, stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky). I have a B. A. in communications from Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa and a Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. I’m so blessed to be a part of this great team of missionaries at work for the Lord. We work at that mission of making disciples through our preschool, our youth and young family ministry, our older adult ministry, our many Bible study and small group opportunities, through our music and praise and worship life together, and in living out our Christian faith. Come visit and see.

  • Sharon Owens

    I am originally from the greater Milwaukee area, and also lived in Little Rock, Arkansas for several years before attending Concordia University Seward, Nebraska where I received a BA in Behavioral Science, minor in Evangelism and DCE certification. The first Call I received was from the Nebraska district to start an international student ministry program at University Lutheran Chapel in Lincoln. After which God Called me to LCMS International Mission Macau, China where I served as the Director of Concordia English Outreach Centers and Volunteer Coordinator for Southeast China. After 14 years I transitioned back to the United States when Lutheran Ministry at Arizona State University Called me as the Director for the International Friendship House in Tempe where I coordinated various activities for the international students to be introduced to Jesus at Arizona State University, during this time I was also served at Hosanna Lutheran Church and Little Palms Preschool in Mesa to serve as a part-time DCE.  The Pacific Southwest District noticed my passion for campus ministry and invited me to serve with the Campus Mission Coalition in the fall of 2019. I received a Call from Hosanna Lutheran Church and Little Palms Preschool as a deployed missionary to the campus of Arizona State University as the Director of International Student Ministry – Phoenix: Connecting International Communities (CIC) and also serve as a resource for other campus ministries in the district.


    Learning about other cultures and caring for international students is a passion of mine.  I love fishing for souls and equipping others. During my time in Asia God blessed my life through the adoption of my daughter Joanna and son Peter. Together we serve as a family ministry team caring for those whom God brings into our lives.  My email is sharon.cmcphx@gmail.com.
