"The work of creating a variety of seasonally connected worship services, transformative faith formation experiences for adults, and healthy, dynamic, and adaptive congregational cultures has—and continues to be—my passion. It has never been simple or fully realized work, but the insight of Jesus seems more true to me than ever."

"What does Lutheran faith formation look like in Auburn, Washington in this post-covid 21st century? Let’s find out together! As we discover together what our gifts and callings are, we will determine how best to structure programs, events, and activities so that people of all ages can grow in faith to love God and one another."

"I seek to offer pastoral care to members and friends of the congregation.  In these times that find folks socially distant, it is more apparent that people are longing to be remembered and appreciated.  Over the course of my 34 years of parish ministry, pastoral visitation/care have been a source of energy and deep satisfaction."
