Meet Our Staff
Without our Shepherd and those who step in to help lead the flock, we would be lost. We are a small but mighty crew, and we are thankful for the gifts these people are willing to share in ministry here.
Meet our Pastor and those on staff who help make our ministry possible.
Rev. Kimberly Sturtz
Pastor since January 2021
Graduate of Wartburg Theological Seminary 2015 - Masters of Divinity in Word & Sacrament
Pastor Kim Sturtz was called to our church in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Her leadership has helped us gain our footing once again, with bright and encouraging ideas of how to grow in community and work through hard situations. We are thankful for the tenure she is called here to do and for her family who has been an additional warmth to our congregation. We are thankful for her grace, kindness, and strength.
