A Bit About Me
Personal faith is part of Annette's life. Annette grew up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior as a child. In 2001, she graduated high school from Faith Baptist School in Beecher, WI. Desiring to understand her faith better, she studied Biblical Languages at Northland International University, graduating in 2005. She married her college sweetheart Christopher Watson that same year.
Together, Annette and Christopher started training in 2005 at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Plymouth, MN, where Annette received her Master of Arts in Biblical Theology in 2008 and her Master of Divinity in 2011. Annette has used her biblical knowledge to support the women and children in her church and community.
After 2020, Annette began looking into politics as a stewardship issue. In February 2025, Annette began serving on Morris' Park Board. While awaiting to join the park board, Annette became an advocate with Save East Side Park for the purpose of preserving green space in the town of Morris and in regard to being fiscally responsible toward the new playground equipment already placed there. In spring of 2025, Annette completed her doctoral certificate in Law and Policy. Annette regularly attends the City Council as a spectator to keep abreast of what is occurring in Morris.
Annette has birthed five children: Elsie, Edmund, Hans, Gunder, and Vivian. Annette has used her abilities to volunteer at pregnancy crisis centers, to teach children to read in the public schools through MN Reading Corps, to serve in her local church, to instruct Chinese students to speak English, to homeschool her young children, to serve as a board member of Someplace Safe, to serve for a year as a board member of Morris' Prairie Harvest Fest, to support Morris and beyond as a member of Morris Area Women of Today, to serve as treasurer on various boards, and more.
Annette Watson has always lived in the Midwest. Annette spent her childhood in Ankeny, IA, and Beecher, WI. But Minnesota is her home. She has lived in Minnesota with her family since 2005. In 2018, Annette moved to Morris, MN, where she currently resides.
