Welcome!
Pastor Anna Rieke is a collaborative leader who has spent her career adapting to the changing landscape of religion and finding new and innovative ways of pointing people to the liberating love of God. Having been nurtured and shaped by churches through all stages of life, she knows the powerful impact they can have on both their members and the communities they serve.
Pastor Anna has served congregations in Oregon, New York and Washington. She has a relational approach to parish ministry that emphasizes joyful and authentic worship, working publically for justice and inclusion, and prayerful strategic planning in the midst of uncertainty and change. She has also served on multiple synod-based Strategic Teams for Authentic Diversity and is an experienced organizer and trainer in the arts of faith-based community organizing.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (University of Arizona ‘05) and Master of Divinity with a concentration in Evangelism and Justice (Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary ‘13). Her ministry has been featured on Fast Company: The Christians Giving Up Carbon for Lent and NPR affiliate KUOW: What will be the future of church in Seattle?.
When not working, she can often be found swimming at the local public pool, dining with her parents at their retirement home or reading sci-fi at a local coffee shop or brewery.
A Place To Belong
We’re on a mission to follow Jesus’ example of showing unconditional love…to each other, to the poor and most vulnerable, to all people.
We welcome you as you are and want to get to know you.
