Pete got his start in ministry working at Portage Lake Bible camp during his summers in College. He started off as a counselor and skate park director and eventually ended up as their Summer program director. After his time at camp he attended North Park Seminary where he received his M.Div in 2013. He took his first call as Associate Pastor to Youth in Yelm, Washington. His most recent position before NWCC was as Associate Pastor at Immanuelskyrkan in Stockholm, Sweden. He began as Pastor of Community Outreach in August 2021. 

Pete is excited about the opportunity to reach out to the surrounding community with the love of Jesus. Everyone has a next step with Jesus, and Pete is excited about helping people identify what their next step might be. During the week you might find Pete wrestling his kids, playing online chess, doing magic tricks, riding his unicycle, out at a disc golf course, or maybe enjoying a nice cup of coffee with some good friends.
