The Rev. Cole McGlynn
Pastor
[email protected]
Cole McGlynn grew up in Southern California and went to college in hopes of becoming an engineer. As he worked towards his degree, he started to recognize that God may have been calling him elsewhere. As he started to discern a call to ministry, he transferred to his hometown college, California Lutheran University. While at CLU he decided to study Theology and Christian Leadership and met his wife Amanda who had also discerned a call to ministry. While in college, Cole worked at two different Bible camps, one in California and one in Idaho.
After college, Amanda and Cole both went on to attend Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, MN where they earned their Masters of Divinity. While in seminary, Cole worked at a United Methodist church plant in urban Minnesota, an Episcopal Church in small town North Carolina, and a shared ministry of four Lutheran churches in rural Texas.
Cole, Amanda and their children Rowan and Nora currently live in Vista. Amanda is the pastor of King of Kings Lutheran Church in Oceanside. Apart from work, Cole enjoys gardening, cooking, backpacking, reading, playing board games, and brewing beer. In Vista, the family keeps busy with an Australian Shepherd named Banjo, a Great Pyrenees mix named Cricket, numerous chickens, 4 turtles, a few hundred small fish, a hive of bees, a pond, orchard, micro vineyard, and large garden.
Cole was called to serve as Our Savior’s pastor in November 2021. As a pastor, Cole especially loves preaching, teaching, getting to know everyone, and discerning where God is leading Our Saviors Lutheran Church and School in the future. In addition to his ministry at Our Savior's, Cole is an Air Force chaplain serving as an IMA reservist.

Hannah Lee
Music Director
Hannah Hyunja Lee is a Korean-American pianist who completed her bachelor’s and master’s degree of piano and chamber music at Seoul National University in Korea and then continued her doctoral studies at the Conservatoire National in France. She served as the artistic director of Bijoux chamber orchestra and the planning director of Coreano-Francaise de Musiciens organization, while performing and teaching as faculty at various universities.
Her music education and career is founded in her belief that God gave her a gift and she is called to serve the music ministry in His purpose. She has worked as music director and pianist/organist at multiple churches in South Korea, France, and U.S., such as St. Matthews UMC in Virginia, Princeton Presbyterian Church in New Jersey, etc., ever since her college years. Hannah’s vision as a Christian musician is to glorify God through joyful harmonies in worship through different voices and instruments to spread His gospel and connect with our diverse community.
Aside from music, Hannah loves nature, walking and hiking, painting, photographing and going to live performances. She is an avid coffee lover – her day always starts with freshly-brewed coffee scents while grinding beans to make a cup of pour-over coffee.
Hannah is honored to serve God as Music Director at Our Savior's since 2026 and is excited to contribute towards the vision of OSLC ministry through her faith and experience. She prays that anyone should be able to enjoy beautiful worship music at church, and music can help bring people closer to God.
