South Wisconsin District
Christopher Rowan
“He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.”
— 1 Kings 19:11-12
Hello!
I consider it a great privilege to serve the risen Lord in the South Wisconsin District and I am here to support you. Together, we will continue to confess Christ for future generations by remaining true to our Lutheran theology, beliefs, and practices. We will also honor our vocation as people of God and work towards establishing new congregations and schools while supporting and maintaining the existing ones. Moreover, we will embrace our communities as we serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Chris graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in history with minors in anthropology and political science. He brings two decades of leadership experience working in finance, banking, retail, and most recently online-based entrepreneurship. Chris has served as the congregational president of his former church and school.
Chris and his wife Rebecca have 5 children Emily, Claire, Edward, Alexander, and Arthur. They love to keep busy with camping, fishing, 4-H, American Heritage Girls, Karate, Ju-Jitsu, Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, Choir, and Youth groups and activities at church.
