Lead Pastor: Craig Krueger

Right before college I experienced deep spiritual hunger.  Over the next year I experienced God as my father, forgiveness from Jesus, and the power and friendship of the Holy Spirit.   Wow! I came to the University of Minnesota to get a degree, and receive not only the degree, but the training in really doing ministry and being the body of Christ on campus.  I was hooked!  I encountered transformational relationships, I was trained, and sent to Mankato State to begin a student ministry.  After returning to restart the student ministry at the U of M, I met my beautiful wife Michele who was radically transformed by Jesus and his community.  Love, marriage, and eight children later revealed my Catholic roots run deep!  We have been having fun teaching the Word of God, healing the broken, and helping young couples find the joy of marriage as servants of Christ! Pray with us for Michele, now battling for her life against a brain tumor.

When not digging in the Word or chasing my kids, I can be found hiking (preferably along Lake Superior), fishing (with my kids- Join us!), reading or drinking coffee (dark roast!) with friends.

If you want to grab a cup of coffee with me email me:  Craig@Sojourncampuschurch.net or Facebook:  Craig Krueger.

Elders:

Kathy Witte

As an elder at Sojourn, Kathy’s heart and passion is to pastorally care for women, helping them to understand their identity in Christ and His unconditional love and grace for them.  She believes that God’s primary purpose for our lives is to know and love God and be loved by Him and that our ministry comes out of that relationship with the Lord, motivated by His love and grace.  Through mentoring, leading small groups and facilitating classes, Kathy’s desire is to see women fully enter into all that God has created them for, both a loving relationship with Him and a purposeful life of ministry to others.
In addition to ministering to women at Sojourn, Kathy works full time as the Business Office Manager at a large mental health clinic.  She also enjoys most sports, playing games (Dutch Blitz anyone?), traveling, laughing out loud and sharing a latte with a good friend.

Greg and Barbara lead the campus ministry team.   Their goal is to mobilize missionaries to the Campus and from the Campus to the World.  (www.cjxateams.org).  Greg’s favorite thing to do is start things:  Bordertown Coffee, Kappa Pi Alpha, various and sundry offspring.  He heart’s desire is to help people discover their calling so that they can use that calling to bring the hope of the Kingdom to broken places of the world.  Barbara’s favorite things are to spend time with her (and Greg’s) four great kids, cook amazing food, create, and drink good coffee.  She and Greg love coffee so much they started a coffee house.  Greg makes his living taking pictures of stuff on the water…strange, but true (www.gregsilkerphoto.com)
