PASTORAL STAFF

Seminary Graduate Assigned to Mt. Olive

Peter W. Christie will begin his ministry at Mt. Olive in July. He will be ordained and installed on July 27th.  We praise God for this welcome news, confident that he will be a blessing to our congregation. 

A few notes about our new pastor…

Peter grew up in northern Illinois where his dad was a pastor. They later moved to the Milwaukee area before he started high school. Peter attended Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, Wisconsin, where he met his future wife, Emily. They both continued their education at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota, where Peter began studying for the pastoral ministry and Emily began studying to be a Lutheran elementary school teacher. While Peter studied at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Emily taught at a Lutheran school in Grafton, Wisconsin. Peter served his vicar year at Living Savior Lutheran, a dual parish in Hendersonville and Ashville, North Carolina.

Peter enjoys fishing, grilling, watching sports and TV shows with Emily, and spending time with his two daughters.

Along with Peter and Emily, we welcome their daughters Hayden (20 months) and Lara (newborn) to Mt. Olive.
