She was happy to receive the call to a small town in her home synod, having grown up in Perham, MN and gone off to the bigger cities of Minneapolis and Chicago for college and seminary. Amber finds joy in music, walks, reading, and playing games. She brings into ministry a love for God\u2019s people and a love for God\u2019s word. One of her favorite guiding Bible passages is, \u201cKeep alert, stand firm in your faith; be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love\u201d (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Office Manager:<\/strong> Shelly Conely<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1518\" style=\"width:241px;height:346px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/oursaviors-melo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Shelly008-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"mailto:osl@oursaviors-melo.org\">osl@oursaviors-melo.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Office: 218-745-4478<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Building Maintenance Manager:<\/strong> Jake Reinier <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Phone: 701-740-5299<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Organists\/Pianists:<\/strong> (OSL) Joan Peterson &#8211; (Melo) Linda K Hamrick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Youth Directors\/Sunday School<\/strong>: Katie Marquis &amp; Heather Goroski<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pastor: Amber Kalina Pastor Amber has been serving as pastor at OSL-Melo since December 2021.
