Our Pastor
Pastor Sue earned her Master of Divinity degree in Missiology from Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN, in 2013. She brings with her to Lutheran Church By The Lake ministry leadership skills that have roots in intergenerational ministry. Her love of God and previous work experience in hospitality, finance, technology and creative fields led her to ordained ministry.
When asked during interviews what attracted her to Lutheran Church By The Lake, she mentioned our many varied ministries serving the community, as well as our willingness to look forward in creating new opportunities for worship and service.
Pastor Sue is an avid skier (both water and downhill), loves the outdoors, and feels very much at home in rural, forested, remote locations. She has two adult daughters. Hannah lives in NYC. Hailey lives in MN with her husband, Brady. Pastor Sue looks forward to becoming a part of the church family at Lutheran Church By The Lake and in communion with the people of our community as we grow in faith while serving God.
