Nice to meet you!
I'm Pastor Peter

I am called to serve a congregation at every season in its members' lives. During highs and lows, and throughout day-to day-life, I am there for all of it.

During my studies and brief career, I have focused on bedside, community, youth, pulpit, and across-the-coffee table care. What a blessing it is to work with God's people!

I hope to take my next step as the settled minister of a United Church of Christ (UCC) congregation. If you are in the process of calling a new pastor, let's talk!

A Bit About Me (for more, click the "About" section at the top of the page)

Pastor Peter (he/him) is a child of the Midwest, being baptized and confirmed in the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America), and growing up in the suburbs of Kansas City, KS. He attended Doane University, in Crete, NE, where he graduated with a BA in History and minors in Sociology, Communication, and Leadership Studies. Before graduating, he heard a call to the ministry. This call led to Yale Divinity School and Andover Newton Seminary, where he officially joined the UCC and discerned a call to congregational ministry.

After receiving his Master of Divinity and Diploma in Congregational Ministry, he accepted a call from Plymouth Congregational Church, in Des Moines, Iowa, as one of their Transition into Ministry (Tim) associate pastors. While at Plymouth he finished the ordination process, becoming the Rev. Strobel (but you don’t have to call him that). AFter two years in Des Moines, Pastor Peter accepted a call as the Associate Pastor at UCC Norwell in Norwell, MA.
