Interim Pastor Ted Kunze
Marcia & Pastor Ted Kunze
|
A native of Minneapolis, Pastor Ted and his wife, Marcia, both are Gustavus grads. Pastor Ted got his M.Div. from Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul (now merged into Luther) and his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Preaching from the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. He has served parishes in Minneota, St. James, and Slayton, MN prior to beginning the Interim Ministry here. He and Marcia have been married since 1978 and have three grown daughters and two grandchildren.
As the Interim Pastor, Pastor Ted will provide pastoral care and leadership until a new "settled"pastor is called. In the meantime he will work with the Church Council and members to think about our mission and what traits and skills we'd like in our next Pastor. |

Caitlin Jensen
Interim Youth Ministry Director

My name is Caitlin Jensen and I am First Lutheran's Interim Youth Ministry Director. This last year, I served as the Pastoral Intern at First, and I am blessed to continue my ministry working with the youth. I grew up in San Jose, CA (about 50 miles south of San Francisco). I attended California Lutheran University and received a Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in music. The three years prior to working at First, I was attending school full time at Luther Seminary and working part time as a high school youth minister. Fun facts about me - I love tea (probably a little too much) and cheesy puns! I am excited to continue being a part of the First Lutheran family. I look forward to learning and growing in faith with you all!
