SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, June 18, 2023

Rev. Brad Gustafson was born and raised in a rural, tightly knit Swedish religious farming community in south central Nebraska. A church-related junior college opportunity 2,000 miles away after high school, just outside Vancouver, British Columbia, introduced him to a larger social and theological world, and his journey into that world has never ended. Following that degree, he completed his undergraduate education with a B.A. in English, Journalism and Business at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in his home state. In mid-life (he hopes it was mid-life!), Brad married a woman named Sally from the Isle of Palms, and then completed graduate studies at Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. He subsequently pastored two beloved congregations, one in Southern California and one in western Nebraska.
