It's been a privilege, by God's grace, for me to serve in the ministry of the Word at our congregation for many years. We have a wonderful family of believers here at Bethany, a wonderful town, and a wonderful Savior Jesus! My hope and prayer is always that our members be strengthened in faith through the Gospel and that many more might join us in that faith through the same Gospel.

As Paul writes in Romans 1:16, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes."

Favorite passage: Psalm 27:13-14

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

I am a graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and was assigned to be associate pastor at Bethany in May 2023. Since that time, my wife and I have enjoyed getting to know the beautiful area and people of Fort Atkinson. We are thrilled to be a part of this corner of God's kingdom and to serve its people with the gospel message.

As a pastor, I am passionate about worship and getting people connected to each other and to Jesus. It's my prayer you come check us out and experience the peace that Jesus alone gives us!

I consider it a special blessing to serve my church as its Office Manager. It's a privilege to be a part of moving the Bethany ministry forward.

I enjoy the many different aspects of the position, but perhaps my favorite duty is being the 'greeter' for the preschool children every Friday morning. I'm eager to help our staff and members in whatever way I can.
