Rev. Luke Grobe: Associate Minister of Faith Formation

Contact Luke by email.

Lucas Grobe accepted the call to be our Associate Minister of Faith Formation after leading the worship service on July 17, 2011 and the congregational vote approving the call. Luke was the unanimous candidate for the position chosen by the Search Committee.

Luke was raised in Wheaton, IL. He attended Washington University in St. Louis, MO where he studied Political Science and Religious Studies.

He completed his Master of Divinity Degree at Eden Theological Seminary. His experience includes work as a chaplain, youth director, and as a student pastor.

Lukes’ greatest passion in life is people. He strives to learn about their desires and their faith. In some of Luke’s past work experience, he was able to share his faith with some, advice with others, provide a listening ear to those in struggle and his friendship to all. He believes that a minster must be current in the way they practice ministry and that the church must be rooted in the world that people interact with on a daily basis. He seeks to bring creativity to the worship service.

He enjoys running, rowing, and weight-lifting, reading, piano, and is learning to play the guitar.

Pastor Luke began his ministry at First Congregational United Church of Christ – Longmont, CO in early August, 2011. Pastor Luke’s Installation Service is Sunday, January 22 at 4 pm at the church, with a reception and meal to follow. Join us in celebrating and affirming Luke’s call to ministry here!
