Pastor Dana was called to serve as Associate Pastor on October 6, 2024. 

Pastor Dana grew up in Lakeville, always involved in church and leadership roles, then went to college at the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!). When she came back to Minnesota after college, she worked as the Youth Director at Prince of Peace in Burnsville for about 5 years, while she attended Luther Seminary. For Pastor Dana’s pastoral internship, she went all the way out to Dana Point California and served an awesome church called Gloria Dei. She couldn’t just do one year, so she stayed a bonus year as Associate Minister before coming back again in the spring to graduate from Luther Seminary with her Masters of Divinity.

When she is not at church Pastor Dana is probably with her pup, Darla, or listening to Taylor Swift.
