Pastor Jeff Duquaine was born and raised in Sturgeon Bay, WI.  He began to study for the public ministry at Martin Luther College (MLC) in New Ulm, MN. It was at MLC that he met his wife Heather. He graduated in 1996 and she graduated in 1997. Heather spent a year teaching in Ann Arbor, MI before they married in 1998 at her home church, Grace Lutheran in South St. Paul, MN.

After their wedding, the Duquaines spent a summer serving a mission on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. The next step was Pastor's internship (vicar year) at Christ Our Savior in Grand Rapids, MI. While he was training, Heather taught at the church’s preschool.  During his final year at the Seminary, he served as a Senior Vicar at Zion Lutheran in South Milwaukee.

On Seminary Assignment Day in May of 2000, the Duquaines were called to Shepherd of the Hills in Duluth, MN. In 2004, Pastor accepted the call to St. John’s Lutheran in Lannon, WI. While there, Heather served one year as their grade school resource teacher. In 2010, Pastor Duquaine accepted the call to serve at Grace Lutheran in Oshkosh, WI.  Heather served as Grace’s resource teacher for 6 years and Kindergarten teacher for one. Pastor Duquaine accepted a call to Ascension in Escondido, CA in January 2018. While in Escondido, Heather found her dream job teaching piano lessons. The Duquaines arrived at King of Kings in Willoughby, OH in March 2022.

God has blessed the Duquaines with two children. Both children attended Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN. While here in Willoughby, Maelyn met and married her husband Matt Chaffe. Noah, is currently working in the area.

One additional note: the Duquaines have a Shih Tzu/Bichon mix dog, Bella, and a rabbit, affectionately referred as Rabbs.
