  • Rev.  Monte Peterson 

    pastor       E-MAIL

    I am blessed to be a child of God, daughter, sister, wife to husband Matt and mother to Finn and Willa, and now, pastor to the people of St. Luke's Lutheran Church! It is a privilege and a joy to serve God in this way, hearing your stories and walking this life together, through all its ups and downs. My background is as a chef and baker, and I'm still passionate about all things food. Although I am from the Midwest, my family and I recently moved to Wisconsin from Hong Kong, and we love to travel and explore new places. I also love good coffee and conversation about life, faith, Jesus, your latest read or your newest recipe. I look forward to getting to know you!   


    Favorite Bible Verse:   Lamentations 3:21-23-  - "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
