Torgeir Petersen is a pastor in Denmark.
When did you trust Christ?
I'm not certain when I first trusted Christ, for He has been a part of my life from a very early age.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
The most defining moments were when I was at a Bible school in 2018-2019 and during my theological studies the past four years.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want to return to the European Leadership Forum because it provides invaluable opportunities for spiritual growth, leadership development, and networking with like-minded Christian leaders across Europe. The insights and tools I’ve gained from past workshops have significantly shaped my ministry, particularly in church revitalisation and fostering a healthy church community. Returning to the Forum would allow me to continue learning, be encouraged by others, and bring fresh ideas back to my congregation.
What is your ministry?
I pastor a Lutheran church in Copenhagen, where most of our members are Faroese students pursuing their studies in the city. My ministry is centred on providing spiritual support and helping our members navigate the challenges of faith and life abroad.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In the past, I have served as a youth leader and a pastor.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Someone should invest in my ministry because it focuses on fostering a strong, supportive Christian community among Faroese students in Copenhagen, helping them navigate both their academic and spiritual journeys.
