Welcome to Emanuel Lutheran Church.  I am currently serving as the vicar. That may not be a familiar term. It really just means that I am in a program to become an ordained pastor.  I began teaching and serving as principal here in 2013.  In 2022, I stepped away from my role as principal to take on more duties at church.  

            My wife Terri and I have been married since 1989.  In 2012 we were blessed with our son, Isaac.  I graduated from Concordia, Seward in 1990.  I have taught in Hawaii, Illinois, and in Minnesota since 1999.  Most of my teaching has been in Lutheran schools.  Sharing the Gospel and helping students learn what it means to live their faith was a very important part of my calling as a teacher.  I am looking forward to many similar experiences with the members of any age here at Emanuel.

            The invitation is always open to you for a visit or if you have any questions, please contact us.  We would love to share with you the mission of Emanuel.
