Pastor Marianne has been leading worship at our church with passion and devotion, helping guide our congregation into heartfelt praise and worship. The youngest of four and a pastor’s kid from Baraboo, Wisconsin, she began leading worship at just 12 years old, teaching herself piano and guitar. By age 15, she helped build a youth worship team and traveled with local teams to different churches, using her God-given gifts to serve others.
Feeling called into ministry as a worship pastor, Marianne pursued discipleship and worship training in Fort Myers, Florida. There, she embraced opportunities to serve both behind the scenes and on the platform, learning the heart of worship and the importance of preparing one’s own soul before leading others. She strongly believes that true worship flows from our personal devotion to God (Psalm 95:6) and teaches her teams that every gift—whether singing or playing an instrument—is meant to glorify the Lord. Marianne loves helping others of all ages discover their gifts and use them to honor God.
Marianne is married to Pastor Adam, and together they have four beautiful children, whom she homeschools. Outside of leading worship, she enjoys traveling on learning adventures with her kids, thrifting, reading, creating, and relaxing outdoors or by a warm fireplace.
