Pastor Jacobsen was raised in Massachusetts and Arizona, and has since lived in several other states around the country. He enjoys the study of God’s Word as well as its application through history. He believes that the task of a pastor centers on the consciences of the people he serves, the most important part of our identity as moral creatures who stand before God. The message of Christ Lutheran can deliver the deepest peace to our neighbors and the most solid foundation for cheerful service to one another in our earthly lives.

If you do not already have a pastor of your own, you can contact Pastor Jacobsen by email or phone to learn how God provides you with this peace and renews it through regular participation in his spiritual blessings.

Además, Pastor Jacobsen ha empezado a aprender la lengua Español para hablar y conducir servicios divinos. Si quieren ayudarlo en esto, pueden juntarlo por la Oficina de Maitines en la mayoría de las mañanas, entre las 6 y 7:15. Las oraciones están en una combinación de español e inglés. Llamelo a confirmar los planes antes del día en que llegue.
