STAFF AT FIRST LUTHERAN

Chris Culuris
Lead Pastor

I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and how I came to be here in St. Peter, Minnesota. Due to my father's work first for the Department of Energy and then the Department of Defense, I have lived in many places both in the United States as well as overseas. I graduated from the University of Colorado- Boulder with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. Then I felt a call to ministry. I first studied to be a priest for the Archdiocese of Denver, Colorado for three years. I finished my Master's of Divinity degree and became a Lutheran while studying at St. John's School of Theology and Seminary in Collegeville, Minnesota. After I completed my M.Div degree, I studied at Luther Seminary in St. Paul and completed a "Lutheran Year." Then I interned with eight congregations in the area surrounding Kenyon, Minnesota. In the past 19 years, I have served two-point parishes in Central Pennsylvania, Northeastern and Southeastern Minnesota. I am married with two children. In my spare time I like to go hiking, camping, help with Scouting, travel and watch movies.
