E-Mail Pastor Ruesch
Pastor Matt Ruesch has served as pastor of Our Redeemer since November 2017, when he came to Kingsford after three years of serving as a church planter for The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Pastor Ruesch is a native of the Iron Mountain-Kingsford area and a son of the congregation. He attended Kingsford High School (1996) and then received his Bachelor of Arts from Concordia University Wisconsin (2000) and a Masters of Divinity from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (2005). He has served parishes in Garrison, Minnesota (Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church) and Bear Creek, Wisconsin (Grace & Trinity Lutheran Churches).

Pastor is married to Heather, who is originally from Florence, WI. Heather is the executive director of The You Matter Tour and runs The Cure-Iron Mountain, a teen coaching and life skills workshop that provides support to the students of our community. The Ruesches have three children: Isabella (who resides in Howard, WI with her husband, Wesley), Paul (a junior at Michigan Tech University) and Sofia (a junior at Kingsford High School). The Ruesches reside in Kingsford and enjoy time together as a family and with their cat: Marley.
