Description

Photo of Rev. David & Deborah Grant in rectangular frame, from the pastor's photos at Indherred Lutheran Church. David P. Grant was installed in August 1989. He had previously served St. John's Lutheran Church, Jamestown, North Dakota, and Trinity Good Shepherd, Alberta, Minnesota. A graduate of Augsburg College and Luther Seminary, most of his growing up years were spent in Brazil, South America as the son of an American missionary family. He and his wife Deb went to San Paulo in 1990 here they adopted two Brazilian children, Jenny and Paul, to join their family of Laura and Lucas. Highlights of his years here include the use of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, a new Constitution was approved, the Parish Office was opened in Starbuck to better serve the parish and the community, and the youth trip to Atlanta Convention in the summer of 1994 involved lots of fundraising and planning for area young people and was a spiritual experience for thousands of Lutherans from all over America.
