We are delighted to welcome Pastor Duane Fister who is serving at Agnus Dei during Pastor Seth's paternity leave January through March of 2023.
Pastor Duane is "bi-vocational" having been ordained in 1982, has served many churches while at the same time is an electrical contractor. He returned to his Lutheran roots in the 20-teens and studied Lutheran theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley. He has been a synodically authorized minister in the Southwestern Washington Synod since 2017 and served four congregations, including two Episcopal churches. In April 2021 he received his Lutheran ordination and became fully rostered in the ELCA.
