Our Father's Lutheran Church Foundation

DIRECTORS

Becky Miller is completing her 24 year as a fourth grade teacher in Rockford. She has been a member of OFLC since 1992. She was drawn to this church by the welcome feeling she had when attending, and also because there were many young families just like hers. Becky soon found herself getting involved with committees, council, Adult Education Coordinator, and President of the congregation. 
​Becky is very involved with Rockford River Days and has played a role in many community events past and present, does volunteer work at school functions, and supports all ages of students by attending various events. In her free time, she loves being outside working in her garden, camping, reading, or going for walks with her two grandsons. She lives in Rockford with her husband Rick, has two married children, a step-son, and 4 grandchildren.
Becky thought the OFLC Foundation was a great place to get involved and learn more about how our little church/congregation can make a big impact on our community and those around us. She has enjoyed meeting with and working with a new group of OFLC members on this special task of stewardship. 
Kathy Lunderby's family has been a member of Our Fathers Lutheran church since 1978. Their youngest son, Joshua, was baptized in the “old” sanctuary... now the fellowship hall! Kathy has served on different committees throughout those years and loved feeling the OFL ‘family’ grow. It has been a treasure for her to serve on Sunday School, Women’s Ministry, confirmation and Council, call committee, and now Breakfast Fellowship!!  Kathy's reason for joining the Foundation came because of the need to have members and has evolved into working with younger and older Directors to create a common cause of sharing God's love and Word with and caring for Our Fathers Church congregation and also our neighbors in Rockford and surrounding communities.
Kelly Kinnan is a family medicine physician at The Pipe Trades Family Health and Wellness Clinic in Maple Grove.  She has been a member of Our Father’s since the age of about 3, and has served various roles including Sunday School teacher, Sunday School coordinator, and bell ringer. Her husband, Mike, and kids, Jack (13) and Abby (10), keep her busy, and she enjoys traveling with them, camping, skiing, and swimming. 

​Joining the Foundation is exciting for Kelly because she sees a lot of potential for helping both the church and the local communities.
Kelly Roelofs lives in Rockford with her husband Joe, and kids Maiya (11), and Reese (10).  She has been a member of Our Father’s Lutheran Church for about 20 years, and enjoys helping and volunteering within the church and community.  She works as a nurse in the neonatal ICU at Children’s Hospital.  In her free time she enjoys spending time outside in the beautiful Minnesota summers with her family.
Kelly is excited to serve on the Foundation Board to help grow and promote the Foundation.  She sees it as a great opportunity to be able to give back to the church and help allocate the funds to individuals and organizations that are in need within our community and surrounding area. 
Kelly Schumacher Fuller (she/her) works for the Center for Leadership & Neighborhood Engagement (CLNE) in North Minneapolis as the Director of Programming and Partner Engagement. She has spent most of her career in the non-profit sector, including time working with refugee and immigrant populations in Minnesota; serving as a Young Adult in Global Mission (YAGM) in South Africa; and years spent living and working in Kyrgyzstan, North Minneapolis, Germany, Washington, D.C., and Afghanistan. Prior to joining CLNE, Kelly worked for Ascend: Leadership Through Athletics, working alongside Afghanistan’s first, female mountain climbing team.  
Kelly is married to Pastor Aaron and resides in Robbinsdale, MN with him and their pup, Winnie. (Who is best friends with Kristen Hoyles's dog, Willow!) She enjoys hiking, learning new things, drinking too much coffee, and engaging in deep conversations with others. Kelly is excited to contribute to, and learn from, the Our Father's Lutheran Community through involvement in the Foundation.
Ken Lunderby’s family joined our Father’s in the summer of 1978.

​He served on the Building & Grounds Committee for several years.  He thinks he might still be on it… sort of.  
​​
For many years their family has been aware of the Foundation and donated to it, but really didn’t know what it was about.  Ken believes that there is a real effort now to bring to the attention of Our Father’s members and the Rockford community what the Foundation has to offer.
​​Kristen Hoyles (she/her) is the Workforce Development Manager overseeing day to day operations, grant management and supervision of the YouthBuild program at Goodwill-Easter Seals MN. Residing in North Minneapolis for 10+ years, Kristen lives with her wife, also named Kristin!, and their puppy, Willow! They are involved in their local worship community, love going for hikes, traveling, and exploring new places to eat. In August, they are welcoming their first child to their family! Having been raised in Rockford and confirmed at Our Father’s Lutheran Church, Kristen is excited to give back to her hometown community by sharing her experiences with the OFLC Foundation!
Lynne Greseth lives in Buffalo and has been a member of Our Father’s since 1990.  She is now retired and enjoys travel, most outdoor activities and cabin time. Lynne volunteers at Nourishing Hope, teaches Sunday school, and enjoys Tuesday Bible study group.

​Participation in the Foundation has given her the opportunity to see the impact financial support can have in helping groups and individuals reach their goals of community service and personal growth.  ​
Mark Nelson and his family have been members of OFLC since 1992. Mark has been a Sunday school teacher, served on the youth and social concerns committees, he's in the church choir and helps with the counting of church offering. Meals on Wheels and Nourishing Hope are also ways that Mark volunteers in his community.
Mark is retired after 40 years working in the field of medical technology and field service support. He enjoys  his dogs and the great outdoors. Hunting, fishing, boating, gardening, cooking and playing his guitar.
​Being part of the foundation and helping to bring it online and updated with all aspects necessary for success have been a passion for Mark.
