Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Louden

Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Louden is a retired ELCA pastor in Fruita, Colorado. He served parishes in New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. He also was an instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School. Before seminary he worked for two years in Ludwigsburg with German children with special needs through the Evangelische Kirche Deutschland. His joy is his daughter, Emma, who recently received her PhD in Astrophysics from Yale and in May will be married to another astrophysicist. Ad astra! He still picks up trash while hiking.
