Pastor Nathan Laska

My name is Nathan Laska and I am excited and honored to serve as your pastor.  My wife Elizabeth (Beth), I, and newborn son, Isaac, are eager to get acquainted with the membership!

I grew up in Winona, Minnesota, on a dairy farm, and Beth grew up in Onalaska, Wisconsin.  I graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 2019 and spent four and a half years serving in a multiparish setting in rural North Dakota where I was first assigned.
What a perk it will be to live closer to family.  Beth, a graduate of MLC in 2014, is a teacher, though now is enjoying the new motherhood interim.

We both enjoy movies, games, bowling, and books.  We comprised quite a fruitful game night for fun and evangelism in North  Dakota.  I pray that my character flaw of being an avid Viking and Twin fan will be overlooked.

I am awed and humbled that our gracious God uses a warm body like me to preach, teach, and administer the sacraments.  As pastors, we preach the Word and get out of the way for the Holy Spirit.  I look forward to working with you for the growth of God’s kingdom whether that means numerically or growing closer together.

I pray for patience as routines (and quirks) come to light.  May the love of the crucified, risen, and ascended Christ draw his people ever closer as we ceaselessly marvel that the Lord freely forgives sins.

My family have been members of Peace since 2001.  I began teaching Sunday School in 2002 and that is still one of the greatest joys in my life!  My husband and I started a Lutheran Boy and Girl Pioneers ministry here at Peace in 2005.

I became secretary here in November of 2007, after being a stay-at-home mom for almost seven years to our wonderful girls, Rebecca and Emily.  Being part of the great things that are happening at Peace and continuing to have our faith strengthened each and every day we are here is such a blessing!

I also am the Executive Director of the national Lutheran Girl Pioneers organization, leading this vital WELS/ELS ministry of over 1100 girls all over the USA and Canada!

My husband of 22 years, Kevin, was born and raised in Wautoma.   He is employed as a custodian at the local middle school and also works part time at Camp Phillip, our local WELS camp.  I lived in the Plainfield/Hancock area until I got married and made Wautoma my home.

I hope you will join us for worship soon!  We'd love for you to be part of our church family, too!
