Originally from Fridley Minnesota, Bee joined the Church around the 5th grade. They quickly became baptized and had first communion not long after at the age of 11. In high school, they had been given a call from God. Being called into ministry, Bee followed it to Wartburg College to study towards a degree in religion and then continue to Seminary to become an ELCA Lutheran Pastor. They were lucky enough to be able to experience working with youth during the summer of 2019. Bee worked with Serve Boldly, a non-profit Youth Mission Trip Organization. They got to be a leader for 3 different destinations in Philly, St. Louis, and Nashville; working with a new group every week as they did God’s work, worshiped, made connections, and just had fun. 

In October of 2022, Bee joined our Church family as our Youth Director and also took our Office Manager position in July 2023. They have grown very passionate about Youth Ministry and loves to teach and have fun on Wednesday Nights.

Bee has an obsession with Pokémon and keeps a Pokémon card on their desk in the front office and can never been seen without coffee or an energy drink close by. You can find Bee all over the church! They participate in Praise Band, Hand Bells, Choir, Teaching Sunday School & Youth Group, Running the Front Office, and sometimes just laying on the beanbags in the Youth Office
