New Pastor Jarvis Glanzer Makes an Impact on Community

Patch readers told us who the "Everyday Inspirations" in their communities are, and we're sharing their stories and the work they've done locally.

Everyday Inspirations is a series that features people in Patch communities who inspire others through their work, or people who have faced extraordinary situations and grown from them. They have been featured by other people in the community that have been inspired by the nominees.

Name: Jarvis Glanzer
Town: Lake Elmo, MN
Nominated by: Tiki Oswald

Why is this person an "Everyday Inspiration?" 
Jarvis is a pastor at a church that is new to Stillwater (Watermark) along with his family. They have been here only about a year and have already gone out of their way to make a big impact.

They pray for our town, and do random kind things such as deliver caramel apples to all of the teachers and staff at the Junior High (where they meet), they sponsored the twinkle parade, they deliver plates of cookies to homes, and so much more. They have so many free and fun family events, they are really an asset to this community!

Has the nominee's life been changed in an extraordinary way? 

The Glanzer family is transplanted here and moved in with their family here (along with a wife- Jane,and two small children) to start the church.

How does this person work to make others' lives better?

Jarvis is all about helping, volunteering and constantly taking time to make people feel special!
