Pastor
I began ministry with St. Paul in May of 2006, joining my husband Terry, Vice-President for Agricultural Lending at Sauk Valley Bank in Sterling. I have been a pastor since 1983, having received degrees from the University of Texas, Austin (BBA in accounting/1977) and from Wartburg Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity/1983 and Master’s Degree in Sacred Theology /1995).
My family includes a son, David, who lives in Austin, TX; and three daughters: Michele_(Dave)_Thompson in Stoughton, WI, Heather_(Jim)_Adams in Brookfield, WI, and Alyssa_Huseth in Janesville, WI.
My main interests in ministry include meaningful and inclusive worship as well as pastoral care and spiritual direction, which I describe as accompanying people in their journeys of faith through the passages of life.
