Fr. Don Kroeger, Rector– Fr. Don entered seminary at the age of 39 following a career in the credit and collection bureau business. He has many stories of how God confirmed his call to the priesthood and provided for him and his family during the seminary years. He was ordained a Priest at St. Philip’s in Coalinga on November 24, 1985, and served as rector there for five years. He then accepted a call from St. Luke’s in Merced, CA and remained there for seven years. He feels blessed to have been called as Rector of St. John’s in 1996. He has been married to Carol for 30 years and they have four grown sons. He enjoys sports and can often be found cheering on many of the local high school teams. |

Fr. Ed Renner, Associate - Ordained a priest in 1984, Fr. Ed was called as Rector of the Church of the Redeemer, in Delano, CA. A few years later he was instrumental in merging with an ELCA Lutheran congregation, and he pastored that congregation as well. In 1990 he was called to be vicar of St. Thomas in Temecula, where he served until his retirement in 1998. Fr. Don and Fr. Ed were seminary classmates and both served in the Diocese of San Joaquin, so it was not unusual that they should serve together at St. John’s. |

Brian is attending seminary at Bethel and aspires to be an Anglican priest. Laurin recently finished her credential program at Cal State San Marcos and is working as an elementary school teacher in North County.
