Pastor Paul Michaelson - Visitation / Outreach Pastor
I have served as Visitation/Outreach Pastor since July, 2008. During my 30+ years of ministry, I have had a variety of experiences in areas of counseling, social work, gerontology and organizational management. I specialize in serving 'intentional interim' assignments in congregations across our Synod as well as training and supervising other interim pastors.
My avocational interests are in being a "fan" of many sports while concentrating on golf in which I have played competitively and coached high school teams and the "First Tee."
My vision for Hope is that the congregation grows into a full-scale multi-ethnic and generational ministry, reflecting the demography of the community. I encourage participation and am excited about seeing everyone use their unique gifts to serve. To this we are called and with such expression, we are empowered and enriched!
