UNITED

Christine (she/her) is born and raised in small town(s), ND. She moved to Grand Forks with her family in the summer of 2006 and started her time at United shortly after that. 

Along with her family, she is an avid Minnesota Vikings fan (SKOL)! She loves bike rides and taking walks with her dog, Teddy (especially in the fall), and is growing increasingly fond of planting and caring for plants, trees, and flowers. 

"I am so proud to be a part of a church that is so welcoming to all   

Darren has been with United Lutheran since 2006, both part time and full time. 

He enjoys reading, church functions, Star Trek shows, and the sounds of music in the church. 

Darren tries to live by the motto, "No matter how bad your day is, theirs must go better". Pay it forward. 

 He strives to be pro-active instead of re-active in his daily duties. 

"To all reading this, if you have a chance to sit in the United Lutheran Church Sanctuary alone, you will find the solitude, serenity is truly deafening. The Holy Spirit is there."

Molly (she/her) joined United Lutheran's leadership team in August of 2019 as the Director of Youth and Family Ministry. Her love of youth ministry grew throughout her college years serving as a camp counselor at Upper Missouri Ministries near Epping, ND. She loves dreaming up new ministry ideas and cultivating community across generations! When not at the church, you can find Molly biking on the Greenway, enjoying time with friends, or hanging out at Archives Coffee House.

"What I love about United the most is their willingness to try new things and generosity to meet the needs of their neighbors!"
