ABOUT PETER SOLI
"I appreciate the guidance and coaching that Pastor Peter Soli provides to congregations and their leaders, helping them move from conflict or uncertainty to deeper clarity about their future and the mission to which God is calling them. I highly recommend Pastor Soli, who brings both a pastor's heart and a depth of experience to the ministry he provides through Dialog Works."
The Rev. Stephen Delzer
Bishop Emeritus
Peter Soli is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the founder and director of Dialog Works. He has thirty years of experience as a pastor and judicatory leader, including eleven years in parish ministry, ten years as an intentional interim minister, and four years as assistant to the bishop and Director of Evangelical Mission in the Western Iowa Synod.
Dialog Works grew out of his passion for ministry with congregations in transition.
