Pastors Gordon and Melissa Deuel have lived in Elko New Market since August of 2006. They have three children and love spending time outdoors, camping, fishing, playing softball, skiing, snowboarding (Melissa), hunting (Gordon), and any other adventure they can find.
Melissa was an elementary teacher (before kids) and has been a sub for the New Prague & Lakeville School Districts. She also teaches figure skating and loves spending time on the ice. Melissa received her Pastoral License June 2015.
Pastor Gordon grew up in southwestern MN in the small town of Hendricks. He is very grateful for his rural background and the values and work ethic he developed there. He first remembers inviting Jesus into his heart there as a young child and received his call to ministry shortly afterwards.
