Meet Our Co-Pastors
Co-Pastor Todd OlsonTodd, who grew up in the heart of Central Wisconsin, has dedicated his life to serving in various church ministries. His journey has led him through roles as a worship leader, Sunday School teacher, youth leader, and children’s worship leader in several states, enriching communities in Wisconsin and Kentucky. After a fulfilling year as Associate Pastor at Hope Community, Todd embraced his calling further and was appointed Lead Pastor in May 2019. Todd, along with Cindy, accepted the call to Pella Nazarene in April 2024
Outside of his pastoral duties, Todd has significantly impacted the youth in his community. He has overseen the Wisconsin District Camp and coordinated the Central Field Youth Quizzing, both of which have been instrumental in deepening the faith and connection of the young members to the community.
Todd’s call to ministry was confirmed in 2015, marking a significant chapter in his life of service.
Cindy, hailing from Central Illinois, serves as co-pastor at Pella Nazarene. Her journey to Iowa began in 2010 when she married Todd. Their move to Green Bay in late 2013 was a pivotal moment in Cindy’s faith journey. It was during this time that she felt a profound calling from God to join the ministry team at Hope Community. She has since dedicated herself to furthering that call through education and now serves as co-pastor alongside Todd, bringing her unique perspective and experiences to our congregation.
