Our Stories: Lance Kagey

Posted on Jan 12, 2017 by Logan Farrell in News |

Happy 2017! As we begin the new year, it’s good to reflect on how God might want us to use His gifts. One of our members, Lance Kagey, has thought a lot about that, and he’s learned the joy of offering up the creativity God has given him.

Lance is a descendant of Swiss Mennonites, and his heritage includes preachers and persecuted believers. Faith and generosity were part of his upbringing. Lance’s spiritual growth included some high points, especially a 1,200-mile bike trek listening to scripture on headphones. But as valuable as these moments were, “the long, slow trudge of faith is more pivotal,” Lance says. “The hurts and pains in life can make us more sympathetic.”

On the northern end of that bike trip years ago, Lance met his wife, Dana, in Des Moines. Their twin daughters, Ellie and Emily, are now twenty-five.

Lance believes in the importance of community, both within the church and outside of it. He is a graphic designer as well as a musician, and over the years he has loved connecting with others through his creative work. In 2002 Lance and his writer friend Tom Llewellyn began the Beautiful Angle poster project, which still continues. Using an old letterpress in Lance’s basement, each month they create new posters affirming our city’s uniqueness. Lance and Tom post these around town as a gift to Tacoma.

After many years of working for other design companies, Lance and two partners have recently opened their own firm, Rotator Creative. Part of the company’s mission is “place-making,” using design and creativity to make cities more livable and bring people together. It’s the concept that underlies Eric Jacobsen’s book Sidewalks in the Kingdom.

“God’s grace is wide,” Lance says, glad to be part of connecting people to each other. “We need each other’s stories.”
