John has worked at Diamond Lake since November 2020 after previously spending twenty years in youth ministry as a camp director and high school youth director. His passion is to explore how we can live out our call to love our neighbors and find new opportunities for doing so within the church building and outside of it. One of his greatest accomplishments is running two marathons but what he currently enjoys most of all is watching Minnesota sporting events, playing golf poorly, and spending time with his wife and young daughter.
We acknowledge that we gather as Diamond Lake Lutheran Church on the traditional land of the Wahpekute band of the Santee division of the Dakota people past and present. (full statement)
