At St. Philip the Deacon since: Grant has been a member since 2000; Anne has been a member since 2003. We met at St. Philip and were married there in 2005.

Faith background: Both of us have been life-long Lutherans.

What is your professional background and experience? Grant is a Manager of Finance Operations for a financial services organization; Anne is a Training Coordinator for a large local company.

What is something that you love about St. Philip the Deacon? After the loss of our first child we were amazed how the St. Philip community supported us through the difficult times.

Have you ever been surprised by God? By keeping our faith and hope we were blessed with our son Soren.

If you could meet God face-to-face, what would you want to ask? Why do we as Christians have to suffer?
