our team
There’s so many people who make this community special. Below are just a few of us. We hope you reach out to connect!
Pastor Kjell Ferris
Interim Pastor
Pastor Kjell (pronounced "Chell", like church) Ferris, is coming to Vista from Calvary Lutheran, near George Floyd Square, where he has been their interim pastor for the past 2 years. Previously, he was lead Pastor at Peace Lutheran Church in Plymouth for 8 years, and an associate pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Blaine for 6 years.
Originally, hailing from western North Dakota, Pastor Ferris has deep roots in the Lutheran faith, and he is drawn to focusing on being an interim pastor. We have a blessed opportunity to work with him as we focus on calling our next permanent pastor.
