Kraus-Anderson has a relationship with Mount Olivet dating back to the l940s.

Previously, Kraus-Anderson worked on multiple projects at four of Mount Olivet’s Minnesota campuses, including Mount Olivet Lutheran Church and Mount Olivet Careview Home in Minneapolis, Rolling Acres campus in Victoria and Cathedral of the Pines in Lutsen. 

Last year, Kraus-Anderson wrapped up a $6.6 million addition to the campus of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
