Pastor Ann Gonyea

A few words from Pastor Ann Gonyea:

I love people, relate easily and actively, seeking out relationships.  I enjoy opportunities for pastoral care in living rooms and hospitals, with people who come into the office or those I run into at the store.  
 

Since I started full-time ministry in 2015, it feels as though the mission field is more divided and broken, and more in need of God's grace and mercy than ever.  I am consistently led to ask, 'Where can a faith community lead God's people toward unity and forgiveness?"

​ 

The Good News is that Christ is risen!  That is at the center of who I am and what I do in collaboration with a faith community and God's creation beyond its doors.  As a pastoral leader, I set the bar high in what it means to love God more than anything else and to be radical about love of neighbor.  

Please call the office to schedule a visit with Pastor Ann either at the church or at your home.  

Christi brings energy, creativity, and deep-rooted tradition to her role as Director of Music.  A lifelong Lutheran—her father and grandfather both served as pastors—Christi grew up steeped in the rhythms of church life and sacred music. Over the years, she has shared her talents as an organist, pianist, choir director, and trusted substitute in a variety of congregations. Her style is joyful and inventive: she loves giving beloved hymns a fresh twist that uplifts and surprises. Whether leading the choir or at the organ/piano bench, Christi makes worship music come alive!
