First Lutheran Church Leadership

First Lutheran Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Rev. Scott A. Sundbye

Pastor

Rev. Scott Sundbye accepted a Call to serve as First Lutheran Church's Pastor in October 2016. Prior to that, he served as Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Gainesville, Texas.

The attributes that best describe Pastor Sundbye as a pastor are strong preaching, leadership development and counseling. He has expressed a burning desire to lead a church like First Lutheran Church where biblical views are embraced and encouraged, with members who care about the needs of those around them and who want to connect others to the body of Christ. Pastor Sundbye takes worship and preaching very seriously, spending the first hours of his day focused on Bible study.

He graduated from the University of North Texas in 1986 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and worked as a commercial real estate appraiser for almost five years. In 1991 he entered Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, graduating in 1995 with a Master of Divinity. Pastor Sundbye served Our Savior Lutheran in McKinney for two years and then took a call to Faith Lutheran in Gainesville, Texas for 19 years.

He has been happily married to Lisa (Carman) Sundbye for 24 years. She works as a dental hygienist. They have three children: Jacob, Dane & Blake.
