I was ordained in 2002 and have served as a pastor ever since, in both large and small congregations. Pastor Paul and I have been co-pastors at Immanuel since 2017. We have three children and two dogs who keep us busy at home. In my free time, I enjoy quilting, reading, and hiking.

I was born and raised in Elkhorn and am currently living there now with my husband and two children. I grew up in a Lutheran church and am so thrilled to bring the love of Christ to the Children of Immanuel.

I have been a member of Immanuel since 1989 with my husband Jim. In that time we have had three children grow up at Immanuel and now enjoy bringing our grandchildren as well. Thanks to so many people here, our church is a big part of our family too.

Hi! I'm Ranger Rick - I'm retired from the Army  and now work full time as the maintenance supervisor at Immanuel Lutheran Church. I love my church family and I love keeping our house of worship problem and worry free and nice. My nickname Ranger Rick was given to me by the youth group kids.
