A McLean County pastor has been convicted of embezzling from a church where she served.

Erin Gullickson, 45, was found guilty of felony theft of property Tuesday following a two-day trial in Washburn and faces up to 10 years in prison. A judge ordered a presentence investigation. Sentencing will be scheduled later.

Charges against Gullickson were filed in February 2023 after funds totaling nearly $80,000 were allegedly misappropriated from Our Savior Lutheran Church in Max. Gullickson served as pastor at Our Savior and also at Concordia Lutheran in Benedict. Both McLean County churches are congregations within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Gullickson diverted the funds over a period of years beginning in 2016 and used the money to purchase a variety of things including home goods, gas, groceries, clothing, jewelry and travel, according to an affidavit. Members of the church council at Our Savior discovered irregularities in the church's accounts, the document states.

Thou shalt not steal. Pretty simple rule.

The perp:

Looks old for only 45! Certainly wasn't using any of the ill-gotten booty to purchase beauty products!

Appears to be an ELCA or an independent church. There are two LCMS churches in NDak with the same name, but they are miles away.
