Pastor Travis Wilson believes the church is at its best when people can come just as they are—with their questions, joys, doubts, and hopes—and discover that there is a place for them. He is grateful to serve Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Haven, where the congregation seeks to reflect God's light through love and service.

As a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Travis enjoys preaching, teaching, and accompanying people through both the ordinary moments of life and its more difficult seasons. His ministry is rooted in God's grace and the conviction that God's love makes room for us all.

Legally blind since birth, Travis brings a personal understanding of the importance of accessibility and inclusion. His own experiences have helped shape his commitment to creating worship and congregational life that make room for every body and every mind. He is especially passionate about meaningful worship, honest conversations about faith, and building a community where people who have too often felt overlooked or excluded can experience genuine belonging.

Music has been part of Travis's life since he began playing piano at the age of four. Over the years, he has also played clarinet, guitar, and bass. He appreciates the ways music, storytelling, and sometimes a little humor can help us connect with one another and discover something of God's presence in our lives.

Travis shares life with his wife, Kristen, and their daughter, Lorelai. He enjoys exploring creative ways for the church to connect with its neighbors, both online and in person. He believes that faith is lived out not only in worship on Sunday mornings but also through everyday acts of kindness, compassion, and service.

Whether you're exploring church for the first time, returning after time away, or have been part of Peace for years, Travis hopes you'll find a community where you can belong, grow, ask questions, and be reminded that you are loved.
