Dale Ward

Pastor

I’ve been fortunate to fashion my passion (filmmaking, music, writing) into vocational ministry for many years through Lutheran Hour Ministries and Concordia Seminary. I was also a worship leader for 12 years, and for many years served the Teens Encounter Christ retreat programs. I now find it exciting, yet daunting, to step out from behind the camera and guitar to talk about Christ with folks one-on-one.

My life journey includes 30+ years of marriage to Suzanne, and two sons: Abraham who is living the life of a musician in Nashville, and Elijah, who is a Eureka High School student. My downtime (?) includes golf, reading novels, and watching classic films.

What was your first job?

I was a busboy at the Barn Dinner Theater. Anybody remember that place?

What’s one hobby you’d love to get into?

I used to paint and write songs. I'd like to get back into both some day.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

"Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" but, like Elton, I don't know if I can still hit those high notes...
