I have served at Holy Cross since June of 2021. We are blessed to be a part of a community that feels like family! I am most excited for the opportunity to preach the resurrection of the dead, developing leaders for the church, and partner with families and individuals to pass the faith on to the next generation. My wife, Tracie, and I have four kids and a dog. I love hiking, backpacking, reading, and disc golf. We invite you to join us on Sundays to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and to find a family for your walk with Jesus!

I have been at Holy Cross since November 2009. I am privileged to work with the Outreach and Compassion teams here at Holy Cross along with my other duties in the office. My wonderful husband, Tim, and I have been married since 2000. We have a son, Christian, whose musical talents are amazing. In my free time, I enjoy helping out with Christian's Boy Scout Troop, hosting craft days here at Holy Cross, camping, gardening, and hanging out at the lake.

I have had the privilege of serving at Holy Cross since June of 2026. My wife, Natalie, and I have been attending Holy Cross together since we got married the summer of 2024. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the youth, to walk alongside them in their walks with Christ, and to help prepare them for life after high school. I currently serve as a 4th and 5th grade teacher at Prince of Peace Lutheran School in St. Cloud. In my spare time, I enjoy watching Minnesota sports, playing disc golf, and doing graphic design.

My husband, Steve, and I have been members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church since 1997. We have been blessed with two children, Scott and Karley. I have enjoyed teaching for Prince of Peace Lutheran Preschool at the Holy Cross site since it began in 2002. I have been the Preschool Director since 2012.

I serve as the Music Director for Holy Cross and have been in this role since 2023. I coordinate music for worship services, direct the senior choir, the adult handbell choir, and the youth handbell choir. Music is an integral part of Lutheran worship; Martin Luther said, "Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through Music." I have bachelor's degrees in music, education, and math, a master's degree in education, and a doctorate degree in education. I also work in student affairs at the College of St. Benedict & St. John's University and teach at St. Cloud State University. I am originally from Prior Lake, MN, and in 2021 my family and I moved to the St. Cloud area. I met my wife Marissa in college (she attended Concordia Wisconsin and I attended Concordia Chicago). We have four wonderful children--Asher, JP, Silas, and Delilah.

I’ve always felt blessed to be part of many church congregations, but Holy Cross, officially since 1978, has been home. I was born and raised in my elementary years in Regina, SK, Canada, where my father was a pastor. We moved to Iowa for a few years and then to Pine City, MN, just two days before my freshman year in school. During my junior year, I started dating my future husband, Greg. I attended St. Cloud State University and graduated with an elementary education degree and a music and physical education minor. I taught 6 ½ years with the Rocori Public School system. Our second child was born, and I retired from teaching to help my husband with our business and be a stay-at-home mom. For many years, when our three children were younger, I volunteered to do the music for VBS at Holy Cross. Greg and I were in High School Choir, College Concert Choir, and church choirs all our lives. I currently teach music for K-6 at a private school in St. Augusta two days a week and have for the past 16 yrs. I operate my own piano studio in my home. What a joy it is to help develop budding musicians! I thoroughly enjoy being the head organist at Holy Cross. I’m grateful my parents paid for piano lessons for me starting at age five. I know it was a hardship on a very limited salary. My hobbies are reading, sewing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and spending time at our cabin in the wilderness with our children and three granddaughters.

Holy Cross has been my home church since my college days at SCSU over 40 years ago. My church music experience started when I was in third grade, playing hymns for Sunday School. For six years and three summers, I played the organ for my small hometown church. Then teaching filled my life, along with being a mom to three wonderful children. Currently, I am involved with music at Holy Cross as a choir member, Sunday School, as well as a small group pianist and reserve organist.

I have been working as a custodian here at Holy Cross since 2004. My husband Ken and I have a daughter, Jamie, and three wonderful grandchildren, Noah, Ella, and Cree. I enjoy camping, kayaking, card making, and flower gardening, being a master gardener since 2005. I also enjoy volunteering for the preschool classes during the school year.
