OUR PASTOR
​Rev. Jeff Brown, OLF  "Brother Jeff"

Brother Jeff was called to serve as pastor with First Lutheran in July 2023. He is called "brother" because he is a life professed member of the Order of Lutheran Franciscans, the first religious order of the ELCA. He is married to Rev. Caitlin Jensen-Brown, and is also a trained spiritual director.
