Matt Johnson - Senior Pastor I came to Aldrich Church from Vancouver, BC where I completed my seminary training at Regent College. Though I'm originally from the state of Washington, my wife Sonja Soderlund is a true Canadian, so watch the Canuck jokes. I love good conversation, a strong cup of coffee, and anything that helps people (including myself) discover God's presence in the everyday aspects of life. In the midst of its many problems, I enjoy the diversity, energy, and potential of the city. I came to Aldrich Church because I believe that cities need vibrant urban faith communities. The two things I love the most about my job are preaching and the opportunity to help people use the gifts God has given them wherever they find themselves.

Michael
von Gross - Director of Youth and Worship I began working at Aldrich in February of 2008 after completing my seminary training at Princeton Theological Seminary, where I met my beautiful wife Kimmy. I grew up in Prior Lake, MN, and am happy to be back in my home state. In addition to studying at Bethel and Princeton Seminary, I have also studied at Jerusalem University College in Israel, the Taize Community in France, and El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano in Guatemala. I have a passion for teaching theology, discipling young believers, leading worship, and pursuing intentional community. Kimmy and I live downtown Minneapolis.
