Pastor Scheer graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis,

call was to start a mission at King of Kings Lutheran Church in Shreveport, 
Louisiana in the African-American community from 1963-1972. He accepted a call 
in 1972 to Covington, Louisiana at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, where he 
served full-time as pastor until his retirement in 2000. After that he 
continued to serve in many different capacities at Holy Trinity and within the 
Covington community.

He was a man of God, loving husband, father, grandfather, pastor, mentor, and 
friend to many. He loved the Lord in all he did and expressed Jesus’ love, 
grace, and forgiveness to all those he knew. He was a gift from God to all of 
us that knew and loved him. He was well known and respected in the community 
and will be missed by many. He lived his life as a true servant of the Lord 
knowing that only one life will soon be past, only what’s done through Christ 
will last. We know by faith, Pastor Raymond Scheer is with our Lord and Savior.
