The Reverend Jeff Hagaman has been here at this church for almost 10 years! Where does the time go? (Which is one of his favorite projects- time.) Recently recovering from a sabbatical in which time was studied and enjoyed, several new initiatives here are in the process of growing into the fullness of time.
Born outside of Chicago and in a hospital that has since become a Caribou Coffee House, Jeff has been destined to discover sabbath in church, in coffee breaks and by investing
i
n the time afforded in fellowship and the deepening of relationships in communion of all kinds.
Baptized in the Geneva, Illinois Congregational church, a graduate of Doane College and the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, Jeff has been steeped in Congregational polity, but that does make him a stubborn individualist. Jeff has served churches in Elk River and Delano Minnesota before moving to Crete.
