Pastor Daren Flinck
Rev. Dr. Daren Flinck has been part of St. Croix UMC since June of 2008.  Previously, Pastor Daren has served the congregations in Fergus Falls (Grace UMC) - 8 years, Vernon Center/Amboy UMC – 7 years, and the Tri-County Parish – 3 years.  Pastor Daren has accumulated his learning by completing his Master of Divinity degree (United Theological Seminary – New Brighton, MN) and a Doctorate of Ministry degree (Drew University – Madison, NJ).  He also received his bachelor’s degree in management from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN.  He brings 12 years of business management experience to the ministry.  Pastor Daren is a lifelong Minnesotan, growing up in Coleraine, Minnesota and has always been a United Methodist Christian.
 
Married for 34 years to his wife Nancy, they have three grown children and three grandsons.  He enjoys playing his trombone, loves to sing in the choir and the praise band, takes an opportunity to play a round of golf or two when he gets the chance, and still believes the game of softball needs him.  In truth, he loves to be around his grandsons!  It is much safer than running the bases!
 
His StrengthsFinders* top five categories of his strengths really tell the story of his passion for sharing the word of God: Pastor Daren is a DEVELOPER, has a great deal of EMPATHY, possesses great BELIEF, demonstrates RESPONSIBILITY, and enjoys being an ARRANGER. Stop by his office anytime and ask him about what these strengths mean for his leadership and vision for SCVUMC.
