Short History

Hi Everyone! Glad you made it to my web page. Hope you like it. The short history of Pastor Chuck is that I grew up in a loving family on a farm in North Dakota. I have always been a Lutheran boy. My home church is Bethesda Lutheran, which is on the prairies south of Leith, North Dakota. I graduated from Elgin High. Received a B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from Jamestown College, Jamestown, N.D. While at JC I was deeply involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I also met the love of my life in Debra Jo Holt. We got married during her final year of college. Upon our graduations from JC we moved to Minnesota and were involved in Youth Ministry for many years. While a Youth Director at Cambridge Lutheran Church I attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul and received my Master of Divinity degree. My first call as a Pastor was with Tri-County Ministry of Cooperstown, N.D. During all of this we grew our famiy and have five boys... or young men... Aaron- who is 23 and in the Air Force; Luke- who is 21, married to Charlene and going to College at NDSU; Ben- who is 19, attending Weber State and manages a Subway; and then there are our twins- Mitchell and Jacob, who are 13, and so very busy... skateboarding, baseball, snowboarding, scouts, etc. In June of 2006 I received a call here at Our Savior's Lutheran of Roy, Utah. We all love it here and plan to be here for a very long time. It's the best church in Utah hands down! PTL!
