Pastor Brandy Gerjets moved back to her hometown of Minot with her husband Travis in 2014, where she first served as Associate Pastor of First Lutheran Church. In late 2017, she became the Lead Pastor of First Lutheran Church. She graduated from Valparaiso University in 2004 and Luther Seminary in 2008 before traveling abroad with her husband Travis for one year, enjoying a fellowship to experience different expressions of church in faraway places. She has served congregations in Marshall and Waconia, MN. When not fulfilling pastoral duties, she enjoys reading, decorating cookies and cakes, and taking pictures of her two adorable sons, Everett and Barrett.
Tesha was raised in Stanley, ND, and after graduating from high school, moved to Minot to attend MSU. After graduating from MSU, she has worked in the dental field for over 30 years. She is excited to start her new adventure being First Lutheran’s Faith Formation Director and getting to know more of the amazing families here. Tesha and her husband, Todd, enjoy golfing, spending time at the lake with their family, and attending all events of their daughter, Palmer (13). They have 3 grown children who live here in Minot, too, and 2 grandchildren.
