Miranda Olson, Traditional Worship & Music Director - email

I was born and raised in Lisbon, ND as the youngest of 3 daughters. I started singing and making music with my family in church as a young child and continued throughout school. After graduating in 1997, I attended Valley City State University to study Music and Theatre, but mainly worked on my goal of being a professional Tuba player. I earned great experience playing in Valley City including my time spent with the Sheyenne Brass quintet.

In the summer of 1999, while working on a Community Theatre production of "A Midsummer Nights' Dream", I met fellow actor and newspaper editor, Cal Olson. We were married the following year and made our home in Mankato, MN. In 2004, after a stopover in Sioux Falls, SD, we finally came back to North Dakota where we hope to stay for a long, long time. Cal works as a field technician for Cable One, and I work as a phlebotomist at Innovis Health in Fargo. We are the proud parents of a beautiful orange tabby cat named Krusty.

As the Traditional Worship Director and Sanctuary Choir Director, I have brought my love of music back into my life. To combine working with others and music in worship allows me to give back to the church like my Mom taught me to do as a child.
