Meet Our Board Members

Pastor Karl Rydholm, associate pastor at United Lutheran Church, 5th and Dakota in Red Wing, has been selected as a member of the board of Red Wing Area Seniors, according to President Tom Walsh. Passionate about caring particularly for people who have experienced many years of life, he treasures their wisdom, insight and faith stories they have to share. While he grew up in Easton, Mass., he attended college at Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minn. Pastor Rydholm then worked as a respiratory therapist at a local hospital in St. Peter after his graduation. There he met a nurse, Laura, who became his wife. The couple have two adult children, Siri and Anders. He graduated from the Lutheran School of Theology at Gettysburg, Pa., and has been a parish pastor and chaplain in hospital and long-term care settings. He enjoys golf, softball, cooking, reading and walks.
