Crane Lake Chapel & Kabetogama United Methodist Church
God's Good News Made Visible in Northern Minnesota
Mobile Ministry
The Mobile Ministry is a mission of the United Methodist Church which serves two congregations in the most northern part of Minnesota as well as a large, sparsely-populated area, including Voyageurs National Park, where there is no visible church presence.
Roger Parrish-Siggelkow is the pastor of Mobile Ministry and serves Kabetogama United Methodist Church and Crane Lake Chapel, as well as being a Christian pastoral presence to un-churched persons in the area of 1200 square miles.
Roger and his wife Marnie (and their puppy Buddy Karl) moved to the woods from Cannon Falls in July 2011. Roger has worked as a pastor in several churches and is also a singer-songwriter (pseudonym Roger Flyer). Marnie is a certified spiritual director and visual artist. They have three children, Erin (Ben), Ry (Marcia) and Charlie, and three grandchildren, Lillian, Owen and Aleida.
Where is the Mobile Ministry?
In the northern reaches of Minnesota’s forestland, bordering Canada, is the land of the Voyageurs. One of the most scenic areas in the United States, this area was named for the Frenchmen who traversed the waterways of the region in their canoes hundreds of years ago. The land of the Voyageurs is one of the last true wilderness areas left in our country and is the home of the Mobile Ministry. The Mobile Ministry headquarters are located in Orr, Minnesota, a community located 45 miles north of Virginia, Minnesota.
Vision The vision of the Mobile Ministry is “God’s Good News Made Visible In Northern Minnesota.” What motivates us is the desire for God’s good news in Jesus Christ to be heard, shared, lived and celebrated.
