Pastor Carole Lundell was ordained in 1993, and served as a Youth Minister for 25 years at other churches. Then in 2014, Mike Carlson recruited her for elder care at St. Andrew’s, and she's been the Campus Pastor at St. Andrew’s Village ever since! Now caring for the older population is her passion and she feels so privileged to be invited into people's lives, often in the most difficult moments. Earning her B.A. in Interpersonal Communications from U of W-Stevens Point, and MDiv from Luther Seminary was the perfect education for doing what she does.
Carole has two young adult children, Rachel and Brendan. One of each of the two dogs and three cats that live with her were inherited from her kids. During rare non-work moments, Carole loves to paint landscapes in acrylics, or delve into pretty much any other art project. She also enjoys exploring genealogy within her own family. Her favorite thing about working at St. Andrew’s is the staff! The people working here are so talented, fun, and easy to be with.
