Pastor Luke Swanson has served as lead pastor at Community Covenant Church in North Minneapolis, MN, for 18 years. Pastor Luke envisions Community Covenant as a worshiping, reconciling community, shaped and formed by the reconciling love of Christ. Luke and his wife Sarah are committed to living in and serving the needs of North Minneapolis, seeking to build a credible witness to the Kingdom. Pastor Luke writes, “To pursue the Kingdom of God is to resist the Kingdom of white supremacy. This work is difficult, messy work, but thick with the presence of God and the joy of the Lord. Because of the nature of sin, this work should never be done alone, but needs a Christ centered body.” Luke and Sarah are proud parents of their three children.
