A native of Gig Harbor, WA, Pastor Kim spent the first part of her professional life teaching middle school Latin in Atlanta, GA. Pastor Kim graduated from Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, OH last spring and is thrilled that her first call is in gorgeous Choteau, MT. Pastor Kim has a passion for biblical studies, intergenerational ministry, interreligious work, and peace and justice issues. She believes that God's love is radical, all-encompassing, and all-inclusive, and that as the Church we are called to show God's love to a hurting world. She loves dogs, traveling, reading, and coffee, but is still very skeptical about lutefisk.

Our Pre-School Staff:
Our Teacher: Julienne Gramm has a heart for the little ones. She has been teaching 3-5 year olds for 23 years this fall. Eighteen of those joyful years have been here at Trinity Lutheran Preschool and five were at Choteau Elementary teaching a preschool pre-literacy program called "Boost". Julienne is a proud Bobcat and graduate of Montana State University. She loves continuing education especially when it bears fruit in the classroom; however, she will be the first to tell you that technology is not her best friend. She and her husband Randy have two children: Sierra (22 years old and just married in July, 2019 to Todd Pays) and Bryce, a high school senior. They are her pride and joy. She is a member of the Teton Library Board as well as the Choteau Arts Board, and she enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, art, making jewelry and cards, swimming, singing, biking, dancing, and family movie night!
Our Teaching Aide: Heather Wright loves children. She has been working with kids for 20 years now. She started as a babysitter in high school and graduated in 2003. After high school she married her soulmate, Brad. She went to work at Edu-Care Preschool in the Fall of 2003, where she worked and trained as a preschool teacher for 2 years before having one child, a son. Dawson was born in 2005 and had significant health problems. She stopped teaching to help raise him. Dawson gave her the knowledge, strength, and love to care for a special needs child. That is her passion now, she loves caring for children. Now she has two little girls and has been married to her husband for 16 years. She loves being a part of Trinity Lutheran Preschool.
