Pastor Scott Dalen
Hello there,
Just a little tidbit about me. I am a farm kid from rural Estherville, IA, near the Okoboji area. I am a 1997 graduate of Graettinger High School, a 1999 graduate of Iowa Lakes Community College, a 2001 graduate of Iowa State University, and a 2013 graduate of Luther Seminary.
Prior to Seminary, I have held many different jobs including (but not limited to): Golf Course Superintendent, Carpenter, Painter, Factory Worker, and Trucking Broker. Perhaps you've heard of 2nd-career Pastors? Well, I'm about an 8th-career. But that being said, its great to be answering God's call to ordained ministry, and what better place than here at Underwood Lutheran. I love visitors, so feel free to stop into the church and say hey anytime.
When I'm not working at the church, I enjoy golf, movies, reading, and even the occasional video game. Also, I'm a big fan of hanging out with my family which includes my wife Emily and our kids Jackson and Ava.

FAITH FORMATION COORDINATOR: KIM MADSEN

Hello all. I just wanted to give you a little bit of background information about myself. I have lived in the Council Bluffs/Underwood area all of my life. I went to Thomas Jefferson High School, Xenon Cosmetology School, Iowa Western Community College and Creighton University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy in 1997. I have worked in several nursing homes in Southwest Iowa and currently work for Green Hills Area Education Agency. I continue to work in nursing homes on an on call basis and love both of these jobs.
I married my late husband, John Madsen in 1990. We have two daughters, Alex and Lacey. Alex lives in Stanton, Iowa with her husband, Jake, her daughter Andee, and her son Oden. She is a Physical Therapy Assistant at the nursing home in Stanton. Lacey moved to the Phoenix area in July of 2017 with her husband, Jake and their two dogs. She is a fifth grade teacher there. My family recently grew to include Chad Wollan and his two sons, Brayden and Quinten. In my free time I like to visit my children and grandchildren, watch Brayden and Quinten and my nieces in their activities, and spend time with other family and friends. I enjoy gardening, visiting new places, and occasionally exercising. I am excited to begin this new adventure as Faith Formation Coordinator at Underwood Lutheran Church. Thank you all for the warm welcome! You can reach me by email at: faithformation.ulc@gmail.com |
