Following his reception as a minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,[3][4][5][6] Rohrer served the church as bishop of its Sierra Pacific Synod from 2021 until asked to resign in June of 2022 after allegations of racism against one of the pastors under his care came to light. On June 23, 2023, Rohrer was removed from the roster of the Sierra Pacific Synod by letter,[7] and rostered ministers were notified by email on June 28.[8]
