Church Council

Ed Green, President

Bonnie and I have been a members of LCI since moving to Davis in 1989. We have two grown sons Andrew and Russell and a daughter-in-law Sara, who happily live close by in this region and not to forget Lieber our four-paws partner in all affairs.  I served previously on church Council for 5 years in the mid 90's.  My journey to LCI started with my birth and baptism at Our Saviors Lutheran in Chester, Montana and intervening education and career stops in Montana, Minnesota and Illinois.  A lifelong passion of pursuing ways to better food crops lead me on a career in education, research and finally into private business.  Until 2006 I was Sr. V.P. of International Research for Seminis, Inc.  Most recently I am in a new phase -- semi-retirement where I am serving as a special consultant in strategic planning and business development.  You can reach me at liebershouse@aol.com.
Beth Tanke, Vice President

I have been a member of LCI for one year and a Davis resident for six years.  My husband Tony and I are originally from the Midwest, but lived in the Bay Area for 24 years where we were active members of Hope Lutheran Church in San Mateo.  A research and clinical psychologist by training, I currently manage Tony’s law practice in Davis.  You can reach me at beth@tankelaw.com.

I have been a member of LCI since 1973.  My wife and I have two daughters; Elizabeth and Marie.  I am an elementary school teacher in the Twin Rivers Unified School District.  I have been in the education field for 25 years as a teacher and principal.  My wife, Debbie and I are currently Mt. Cross rangers.  If you are interested in joining LCI or need more information, please contact me at ptkdkk@dishmail.net.
Lori Martin

I’ve been a member of LCI since 1970.  I moved to Davis when my father decided to go back to UCD and finish his Degree in Plant Science.  I graduated from Davis High School and later attended Sacramento State where I earned my bachelor's degree in Business Administration.  I also have two children Dan and Malee.  Both are pursuing their college degrees as well.

I have been a member on Church Council a couple of times before this.  The first time was when I was in College when we called Pastor Moren to LCI.  The second time was when Pastor Wong was here. My leadership experience has been both as a member of this Congregation and also in my career.

I have served on the LCI Financial Committee.  I was the chair for the Multi-Cultural Task Group in response to the "Discerning Directions" process LCI went thru a few years ago.  I served as the Church Council Vice-President the last time I was on Council as well.  I chaired the Architect Selection committee and I also organized last year's women's fall retreat.

I am presently the Project Manager for a process improvement Task Team at Caltrans where I work.  I have also facilitated the strategic planning and operational planning processes for two divisions at Caltrans.

I am excited about the possibility of serving on LCI's Church Council because I see so much opportunity and challenge ahead of us.  I believe we are called to set time aside daily to pray and listen to God.  I believe that we are God's beloved children and have been given a wonderful gift to share with our Community and the World, often one person at a time.  I also believe that all people are God's beloved children and have been given gifts to share with the world each in their own special way.  I look forward to continue serving with all of you in the many ways God calls us to be with our family, neighbors and the larger world community.  You may reach me at ljmartin55@att.net.
