Meet The Team

I was called to Christ Lutheran Church six years ago. Previously,  I served at the Lutheran Campus Ministry at UW-Oshkosh for ten years. In these few years, I have been so inspired by a congregation willing to to move, not only once, but twice!  Our first move involved the selling of 130+ building and relocating to a local community center. One year later, our congregation moved in with Our Savior’s Lutheran Church - where we were welcomed with open arms! Since then, I’ve been serving both congregations who have been collaborating in all aspects of ministry and operations. It is so exciting to see how active God is with these two congregations who trust in where God’s Holy Spirit is guiding them. And, they look forward to becoming officially - one body in Christ! I am a second call pastor. Previous to my call to ministry, I worked as a video producer and writer for 22 years. Now, I see how God has used me and my previous experiences to minister in new and creative ways in the church. I have two grown daughters who live close by and a husband who supports me in every way. Throughout my life, I have had an active role in the church and in my relationship with Christ. I truly believe in the love that God has for every person and all creation. Although the business of church can get complicated, I like to keep it simple by just loving God and others. And by doing that, I trust that the rest will fall into place. I have a true passion for people and to help connect them in ways that strengthen their relationship with God. I’ve leaned heavily on Paul’s text to the Corinthian congregation who were going through a new time with some struggles of their own. Paul expressed his love and encouragement that this faith of theirs gives them a brand new start in this life. And, I have seen this exhibited in so many people who leave themselves open to what the Spirit can do - especially in times of change. Believe this my friends… “if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! (1 Corinthians 5:17) And, not only do I believe this, but it excites me to see how God is doing a new thing with us!
