SCC-Beatrice Campus Ministry

Hey everyone! Just want to introduce myself a little. I'm a pastor who serves at Trinity Lutheran Church in DeWitt since June 2014. I have a wife and 4 kids (ages 18, 7, 5, 3). Our oldest daughter went off to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities this fall. It's been a big adjustment for our house not having her around! But she grew up there in the Twin Cities for most of her life so she considers it home. I've taken somewhat of a winding road to ministry. I went to Luther College in Decorah, IA for a couple years after high school before being pulled back home in Chicago for family issues. A couple years later and I enlisted in the Air Force. I was able to travel the world (Germany, Saudi Arabia, Nevada, North Dakota) but knew there something larger calling me. With 6 months left on my enlistment, I had an epiphany while sitting in church service: "Hey, I'd like to do what that pastor is doing!" I finished my enlistment, went back to Chicago and finished my undergraduate work, and started at seminary in St. Paul. My second year there I met my wife and oldest daughter. Within 6 months we were married and pregnant. We had 3 kids over 4 years so my life has been filled to say the least. I have a passion for serving and love serving God through the church. Our God is an awesome God and I love connecting people to Him! Let's find a way to connect. God's blessings to you!! Pastor Sean
