Pastor Mark Astrup
I thoroughly enjoy serving Peace Lutheran congregation and living in the ROCORI area. My wife, Cheryl, is a paraprofessional teacher in the ROCORI School District. We have 2 adult children: Rachel is an elementary school teacher in Prior Lake, MN; and Adam is a recent graduate of the University of Northern Colorado/Greeley. I grew up on the western prairie of Minnesota in the town of Madison, the "Lutefisk Capital of the USA". After Madison High School, I continued my education at Concordia College, Moorhead, MN, earning a B.A. in Biology, '86. My seminary studies were completed at Luther Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul MN.
Learning how God is active in the lives of congregants and the wider community and, in my own awkward way, perceiving the work of the Holy Spirit keeps me challenged, prayerful and humble in my role as pastor accompanying the "priesthood of all believers." Strong coffee while visiting with friends is a simple and constant pleasant pursuit for me. I'm an auditory learner and my favorite listening is hearing people share their stories of faith, satisfaction, struggle, failure, success, hope and resilience. Avocations I enjoy include: snowboarding, reading, bicycling, swimming, collecting vinyl records, running and playing cribbage with Cheryl.
