I am honored to serve God as an ordained Pastor with the people of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and in the city of Neenah.
Born and raised in Green Bay, WI, I feel quite at home in this GB Packer loyal community! I grew up as a member of a Lutheran Church in downtown Green Bay, in a congregation that nurtured, loved and cared for me.
Although I was an unlikely person to be called forward into this ministry, I was called forward by the Holy Spirit, through others who recognized God’s call for me even before I did. So, changes were made, my route thru school amended from pursuing a degree in the sciences to an interdisciplinary Bachelor’s degree in Human Development from University of Green Bay.
Venturing into Minnesota Viking territory, I braved the time in St. Paul, Minnesota and earned a Master of Divinity degree from Luther Seminary in 2004. I was gifted with a call to serve a two-point parish in central Wisconsin previously.
For me, church is a place full of the people of God who accept, love and support you. It’s a place where God promises to always meet you. Church is how and where God nurtures, challenges, and calls, not just pastors, but all people to the lives they were meant to live.
I invite you to this place, to experience it for yourself!
