Zimmerman was a parish pastor in St. Louis, Mo., and Saginaw, Mich., for 30 years. In 2012, he joined Grace Place Wellness Ministries (GPWM) as its first full-time Program Director. At GPWM, his passion for church worker wellness led him to develop the Congregational Wellness Weekend, create the Ministry Team Wellness Workshop and write a book, Reclaiming the Joy of Ministry.

Zimmerman was named executive director of GPWM in 2019, and LCEF acquired GPWM in 2022.

We pray God’s blessings upon Rev. Zimmerman in his retirement.
