Katie is the Pastor of Mission and Outreach at First Trinity and St. Matthew’s Lutheran Churches in Washington, DC. She graduated from St. Olaf College, where she studied Political Science and Religion, and received her M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. A calling to dwell at the intersection of faith and public life led Katie to build a career in fund development for faith-based advocacy nonprofits in Washington, DC, including Lutheran Volunteer Corps, Sojourners, and the Georgetown Ministry Center. God’s even more persistent call to pastoral ministry led her to serve in two downtown DC congregations, where she seeks to develop their collaborative partnership in mission and outreach to their neighborhoods.
