Administration Staff

I was born in Germany, and became an American citizen in 2010. I hold a Masters degree in translation from Heidelberg University, and an MBA from Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands. My corporate career included assignments in Germany, Kazakhstan and Switzerland. That’s where I met my husband, Jack, an American. We moved to New York in 2003, where our daughter Sophia was born, and where I got involved in the revival and renovation of an ELCA Lutheran church…

I am so excited to be part of the St. Andrew Children, Youth, & Family team! My passion and call has always been doing ministry alongside kids and their caregivers—especially kids from birth through elementary school. I’ve been volunteering or working in ministry with kids since forever, and I learn something new from them every single time. My goal is to listen well and provide safe spaces in church and out of church where everyone can be who they are and know they…

My name is Dana Mostad. I started at St. Andrew in the summer of 2015. I am the church’s Graphic Design & Communications Director, and I create the various visual pieces for the church. My wife Annie and I live in Victoria with our three children, Jack, Adam, and Hattie. In my free time I enjoy activities like: bowling, cycling, fishing, camping, golf, and travel.

I grew up on a farm in Hibbing, which is a mining town located on the Mesabi Iron Range in Northern Minnesota. My two older sisters and I were raised by my grandparents who both encouraged us to live our lives to the fullest. My grandmother fostered a strong and open minded faith based home and our entire family would volunteer our time at church. It was there I discovered my talent for communications. After graduating from Hibbing, I pursued…
