Pastor Anne joined the ALC staff as Lead pastor in September 2020. Over the past 27-years as an ELCA pastor, she has served congregations in the Twin Cities area, the La Crosse, WI area, rural South Dakota, in the Fargo-Moorhead area. One of her passions is campus ministry. She served as campus pastor at Oak Grove Lutheran School in Fargo and at the Crossroad Lutheran Center on the campus of Minnesota State University–Mankato. She and her husband live in Worthington, along with their two black and white English Springer Spaniels, Greta and Osa. She enjoys reading various kinds of literature, knitting, spinning wool, baking, cooking a variety of ethnic foods, and spending time with family and friends, walking, kayaking, and sipping a good cup of tea or coffee. She is grateful for the privilege of walking with others as followers of Jesus.​

Married to his wife Ellie, and together they have two boys, 9 and 6 years old, who keep them busy when they are not at church.
