Intern Pastors Begin at Hope Lutheran

Kristine Stedje and Ben Derbin began their internships in last August.  Both are students from Luther Seminary and will work with us for one year.

The unique aspect of Hope Lutheran's internship program is that our interns have "dual citizenship" with our partner congregations.  Scott is serving in Arthur, ND at St. John's and the Good Samaritan Center. Katie is serving congregations in Rutland and Havanna, ND. Through this type of internship our interns will get a sense of congregations of different sizes, but more importantly they will get quality leadership training and much hands on experience. 

We are excited to have Kristine and Ben with us as we become a regional training center raising up leaders and renewing mission!

Kristine Stedje will serve in St. John's Lutheran in Arthur, ND.

Ben Durbin will serve at Nordland Lutheran in Rutland, ND and Trinity Lutheran in Havana, ND.
