Description

Michael Pietila, a Macomb County resident, owner/president of The Mortgage Beyond Network and a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) currently with membership at Immanuel Lutheran Church - Macomb, began to realize after several years as an independent business owner that many of his clients were being referred through his LCMS connections. “I had an epiphany that my clients had some touchpoint with my LCMS connections because they knew, liked or simply understood they could trust me,” explains Pietila. “Then I thought, why not develop a business association where those with similar loyalties to the LCMS could connect professionally throughout the state and outside of our regular church or school activities.” Pietila then organized legally as the Lutheran Business Association, LLC, developed a website and logo while networking statewide through social media and his personal contacts. The organization’s official launch announcement is today with a subsequent launch party, sponsored by The Mortgage Beyond Network and Nemeth Marketing, Inc., planned for new and interested members on: Tuesday, June 13, 2017 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Brooks Brewing 52033 Van Dyke, Shelby Charter Township, MI 48316 Tickets are $15 Drink Ticket and Food included Ages 21+ Only Anyone is eligible for membership; however, any current LCMS member, Concordia University graduate, graduate of an LCMS Lutheran High School or a parent of an LCMS Elementary or High School Student is eligible for discounted membership rates.
