The Catholic church was selected because of its capacity  to accommodate the large number of individuals expected to attend the  service, says Lindsay Small, who serves as associate pastor of Excelsior  Covenant Church and will officiate at the funeral service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarleton  was one of those very effective and faithful pastors who has made a  significant difference in the lives of a lot of people,\u201d said  Evangelical Covenant Church President Glenn Palmberg when informed of  Peterson\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was all around good. He was bright,  thoughtful and well read, an individual with marvelous people skills. He  also was an effective preacher and a person who obviously cared. He  faced his own death in ways that amaze all of us who watched. He was a  real witness to the depth of his faith and his hope in Christ. He leaves  many, many friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those sentiments were echoed by David  Kersten, executive minister of the Department of the Ordered Ministry.  \u201cCarleton was truly a pastor&#8217;s pastor; deeply skilled in all of the  pastoral arts, a mentor and coach, providing wise counsel throughout the  Covenant and the wider Christian community. He was innovative,  entrepreneurial, caring and committed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Born in Fairmount,  Minnesota, on February 21, 1943, Peterson was baptized in the  Evangelical Covenant Church in Trimont, Minnesota. He attended North  Park College and received a Bachelor in Pre-Theological Studies degree  from the University of Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>He graduated from North Park  Theological Seminary in 1970 and earned his Master in Theology degree at  Duke University Divinity School.<\/p>\n<p>He served as pastor of the  Bellingham Covenant Church in Bellingham, Washington, for 14 years  before serving at the Eagan (now BridgePointe) Covenant church for more  than a decade. He served on the board of North Park University, the  former Board of Publications, the North Pacific Conference board, the  North Pacific Ministerial Association, and numerous other church and  civic boards and committees.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his wife, Judy, he is  survived by six children: Heather Elise, Anne Marie, Matthew, Evelyne  Ashley, Holly Elizabeth, and Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>In his ministerial profile  last updated in 1992, Peterson penned these words in describing his  goals for ministry: \u201cTo finish well; character formed by the gospel;  faith in Christ; servanthood willingly embraced; and die believing my  life was a positive contribution to the human situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more of his life and passing, visit Peterson\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caringbridge.org\/mn\/carletonp\">Caring Bridge website page<\/a>.
