Meet our Staff
Michael Hansen
Pastor
I grew up in Germany before moving to Michigan with my family. There I graduated from Concordia University, Ann Arbor before moving to St. Louis, where I graduated from Concordia Seminary. After becoming a pastor and serving at a church in Michigan, my wife, Hannah, and I came to Oceanside and we have been enjoying life with our dog, Denver, ever since!
🤝 When you meet me... Ask me about growing up in Germany, movies, or soccer!
Kim Nielsen
Administrative Assistant
I have been serving Immanuel for over 20 years. I handle everything administrative — including scheduling volunteers, sending email updates, and generally making sure everything in our church runs smoothly.
🤝 When you meet me... Ask me anything about our wonderful congregation!
Annie Gill
Music Director
I have been leading worship at Immanuel for 10 years! I'm an Army brat who grew up all over the world, and then earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from the Conservatory of Music at Shenandoah University. I've lived in South Oceanside for 17 years, and I work at the local elementary schools in Oceanside and Fallbrook.
🤝 When you meet me... Ask me about where to go for Sunday brunch after service!
