Interim Pastor 

Ben Buchanan

Greetings! My name is Ben Buchanan and I have been serving as a pastor in Northeastern MN since 2009. First call for me was at Hope Lutheran in Embarrass and at Evangelical Lutheran in Babbitt. In 2013, my wife, Lisa, and I moved to Grand Rapids after I accepted a call at Zion Lutheran Church and began serving as a Chaplain at the 148th Fighter Wing in Duluth. Lisa is a pastor as well, most recently having just started as an interim pastor at Good Shepherd down in Lakeside. We have twin children, Alex and Scarlett, who are 8 years old and will be in third grade. As Duluth is hometown for me, we are excited to be returning to the Duluth area to be closer to family.
