Pastor Harrison was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is the son of David and Christine Harrison, and was baptized and confirmed at St. Michael Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne. He graduated Concordia Lutheran High School in 2007 and received his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Concordia University Chicago in 2011. While attending Concordia Theological Seminary, he served his vicarage at West Portal Lutheran Church in San Francisco. In March of 2015, he married his beautiful wife, Michelle, and, together, in June they moved to Maryland where he was ordained and installed as pastor at Lutheran Church Cross in Rockville. The Harrisons soon then welcomed the birth of their first son, Peter, in January 2016; and have been richly blessed by the Lord also with sons, Simeon (2019), and Michael (2022). In the fall of 2020, the Harrisons moved to Iowa where Pastor Harrison served the saints at St. Paul in Alta for four years until being called to St. John’s in Bridgeport in 2024. Pastor is passionate about the formation of the Christian life through Christ’s liturgy, as well as enjoying in his free time art, annual attempts at gardening, and hit-or-miss home improvement projects with his sons. The Harrison family is both humbled and thankful to be joining the saints at St. John’s and the gifts that Christ has given for them to receive and share.
