Pastor Allison Cobb
Senior Pastor
​​Rev. Dr. Allison Cobb is a second career pastor who God called into the ministry from a career in the food industry. After graduate school, she began working at Hormel Foods as a marketing manager in SPAM Town USA. While her job took her across the country and even to visit customers around the world, her passion and her heart had shifted to serving God through work in the church. Pastor Allison received her Master of Divinity degree from Wartburg Theological Seminary, her Doctor of Ministry degree from University of Dubuque Theological Seminary which focused on congregational vitality, and has served churches in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Learning is a hobby, as well as reading, movies, and walking her dog. Aside from being a dog mom, her favorite vocation is being an aunt! After living in eight states, she has a deep appreciation for being in a new community. She is passionate about hospitality and welcoming new people, partnering in ministry with the faithful people of God wherever she serves, sharing in ministry with ecumenical partners, and spreading God’s hope and love!
Pastor Cole McCormick
Associate Pastor of Youth and Outreach
​
I am a South Dakota kid that grew up in Sioux Falls, where my parents and brothers’ family all continue to live. I worked for the parks and recreation department for several years as a playground leader and community center leader. I am a graduate of South Dakota State and have a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a minor in religion. I am an avid Jackrabbits fan. GO JACKS! I have my Master of Divinity from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. I have been an ordained pastor for almost thirteen years now and have previous calls in Southwestern Minnesota and Western Iowa. Some of my passions are the great energy that youth bring and coming up with creative ways to be church not just inside of the building, but also outside of the building. I also love sharing the Word and nourishing God’s people with the sacraments. I enjoy watching sports, playing fantasy football, and golfing when I am able. My wife, Jeanette is also a full-time ELCA pastor at First Lutheran and Grace Lutheran in Worthington, MN. Our son Landon is enjoying the life of being a preschooler. !
