About

KENT CLAUSSEN GUBRUD

I’ve been a pastor at Christus Victor Lutheran Church since late October 1998.  The first year and a half I was the associate pastor of youth and family ministries, and anything else that needed some pastoral attention, including some plumbing (which was a disaster).  After an interesting Call Process, for the members of the church, the call committee, the council, and for myself, the church had a vote and I became the solo/senior pastor.  A few years later we were able to add Corey Betchwars to our staff as the Youth Minister.  In 2009 the church finally Called Pastor Laura Duffee to serve as our Associate Pastor, with a special focus in Children and Family Ministries.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

I’ve been involved in church ministry in one form or another for most of my life, and I give much of the credit to my mom and dad, whether they like it or not.  They “made me” go to church, sing in the youth choir, attend youth events, and go to church camp.  Actually, most of the time I wanted to go, it just wasn’t the “cool thing to do,” and everyone who knows me, knows just how “cool” I am.

THIS STARTED WITH A SABBATICAL

In late May 2009 I stepped away from regular church ministry for a sabbatical.  That was the starting point for this blog.

Since then I have continued to add thoughts, reflections, and stories as they come up, or as people ask questions, which is always happening.  I appreciate your comments and suggestions.  Thanks for reading.
