Dennis grew up on a farm East of Fort Dodge and after High School attended Iowa Central Community College, Augustana College (University) and Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was ordained into the Lutheran ministry in 1979. In the mid 1970's, he was a counselor at Ingham Lake Bible Camp for three summers. He has been married to his wife Dorothea for 46 years, with three children and six grandchildren. Dennis served as a full-time pastor for 43 years at parishes in Lake Mills, Osage and Cedar Falls, before he retired (or 'repurposed') in 2022. Hobbies include gardening, fishing and studying history (especially the Old and New Testaments). He has attended a number of fall Elderversities, and looks forward to the retreat time together
THEME: “Faith Stories”
The eleventh chapter of Hebrews reminds the followers of Jesus that they have a host of examples of faith from the past whose stories inspire us to run the race of life set before us with perseverance, looking to Jesus who is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
At this fall's Elderversity we will focus on four stories from the Old and New Testaments that inspire us to hold fast to our faith so that we do not grow weary or lose heart.
Pastor Dennis will also be sharing a presentation on the start of the Danish Lutheran Church in America.
