About Pastor Kat

Hi. I'm Kat. 

I'm a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor, recovering engineer, and (good) troublemaker who believes God is creating spaces of belonging all around us. So naturally, I ponder these questions: 

​

• How do we create belonging? 

• How do we know when it's actually happening? 

• What can we learn when people's lived experiences don't match the communities and relationships we thought we were building?

 

Most of the time, you will find me presiding over worship, recording a podcast with my husband, Lance, drinking entirely too much coffee, asking way too many questions, and trying to help people notice what God is up to…and what that has to do with belonging.

 

A question that has followed me through engineering, consulting, ministry, research, and writing is this: How might communities not just gather, but flourish?

​

I most certainly do not have all the answers. However, I do believe  that paying attention to what God is up to can change the way we see God, one another, and ourselves. 

​

If you'd like to join me in noticing and wondering, I'd love to have you read this week's reflection, listen to a podcast episode, or simply reach out and say hello.
