 59th Anniversary Fall Dinner Bishop Ben Quanbeck ELCA Lutheran Synod of Montana October 6th, 2026 at 5:30 pm Glacier Room of the MSUB Student Union Building Bishop Ben Quanbeck began serving as the Bishop to the ELCA congregations of Montana and Northern Wyoming in September 2025. He passionately believes that God is at work through the Lutheran expression of the Gospel and our emphasis on the cross of Christ. One of his favorite questions is: Since you have been given the grace of God in Jesus Christ, what will you do, now that there is nothing you have to do? Ben grew up in Shepherd, MT, on an irrigated farm and ranch. He earned his undergraduate degree in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering from North Dakota State University. Ben worked for two summers at Christikon Bible Camp in the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains of Montana. Ben’s seminary training was at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree, with much of his coursework focused on Congregational Mission and Leadership. Ben was ordained in June of 2008. Before being elected bishop, he served congregations in Edgewood, WA (Mountain View Lutheran) and Billings, MT (King of Glory Lutheran) where he was known for his preaching, bible study leadership, pastoral care, collaborative leadership, and commitment to nurturing vibrant congregational life.
