Leadership

I’m Pastor Matt Krause, and my passion is helping people grow in the light of Christ. I am excited about how God has blessed my young family at Faith Lutheran Church with the ability to grow with other families. Our goal at Faith is to provide an environment where all people feel comfortable, supported, and loved just the way God meant them to be. I encourage you to check out Faith Lutheran Church. I am here for you and praying as we walk together in this life journey.

It Is a joy to work with youth of all ages. I love Jesus and youth. I enjoy walking besides youth to help them follow Jesus through every step in their life. I want to help youth grow stronger in their faith, as well as equip them to be able to show others who Christ is in their own life. In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, Austin and our two goldendoodles, Bella and Bailey. In our free time, my husband and I enjoy attending sporting events, playing board games, and trying out new restaurants.

I have been a lifelong member at Faith. I have been helping with the music ministry for many years, served on the youth board for 10 years when my girls were active. I intentionally worked locally while our girls were growing up, so I could have quality time raising them. I coached 12 seasons of Soccer and softball. I  was a part of opening  3 new banks in WDM, Granger and Peoples Bank in Adel.
I worked 10 years at ADM schools as accounts payable and receivable.  I enjoy meeting new people that come to Faith and the relationships in our congregation.

I have been an Adel resident most of my life. I have been leading worship ministry for more than 2 decades. I started seminary in the Fall of 2023. I enjoy the outdoors, including fishing, hunting and watching football with my wife and 3 daughters.
