Peter Metzger

Pastor

Pete became our pastor in July 2018 after serving a congregation in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for 5 years. He is a 2013 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin where he earned his Masters degree in Biblical Languages and Pastoral Ministry, after completing a four-year Bachelor of Arts program at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota.

He and his wife, Lydia, love living in Alberta where they can enjoy classical music at the Winspear Theatre one day and hike to the top of Eiffel Peak the next!

They are blessed with two small boys - Franklin and James - proud dual citizens both of America and Canada, but, much more importantly, of earth and heaven by the grace of God through the sacrament of Holy Baptism.

jon Marquardt

Vicar

Jon was assigned to serve as our vicar in May 2025 as part of his third year of pastoral training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin. Before that, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Languages from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. Next fall, he will return to the States to complete his studies.

He and his wife, Kristin, feel so blessed to call St. Albert their home for a year. They enjoy attending live performances, checking out YEG’s many festivals, and exploring the beautiful province of Alberta whenever they can.

Lynsey Spry

Congregational Assistant

Lynsey was born and raised in St. Albert. She spent some time living in Calgary but the good news is she came back!

She loves good coffee (the actual good kind), making her kids laugh, meeting new people, and asking them lots of questions to uncover the unique ways God brought them into her life.

In her spare time, she enjoys sipping that good coffee, pointing out flaws in bad movies, commenting about the weather, and hanging out in the woods listening to birds.
