The Rev. Mark T. Buetow, S.T.M. was recently asked to serve as the Interim Internet Service Executive for Higher Things. We are excited to welcome him to the table!
Pr. Buetow received his Master of Divinity in 1998 but stayed at the seminary and got his Masters of Sacred Theology because he didn’t want to graduate until Pr. Borghardt did in 2000.
He served Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in New Orleans for 5-1/2 years until Hurricane Katrina huffed and puffed and blew him up to Kentucky. After a brief stint as a mediocre TV salesman, Pastor Buetow was called to Bethel Lutheran Church in Du Quoin, Illinois. (Du Quoin is in the part of Illinois that is not Chicago). He has been serving there since December of 2006. He now also serves as the Interim Executive as well as the Editor for the Higher Things daily Reflections.
Pastor Buetow has been married to Susan for 13 years and they have three children, twins Naomi and Anna, and Emily. In his free time, Pastor Buetow enjoys playing strategy and board games you’ve never heard of, as well as fiddling with computer operating systems you’ve never heard of either.
