Our Pastor: Rev. Annela Rova
pastorannela1@gmail.com
Pastor Annela graduated from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity concentrated in justice and evangelism. Her undergraduate degree was from University of Montana with a Bachelor's of Arts in Journalism with a minor in Arabic (yes, she's a Griz!). Trinity Lutheran Church is her first church in her Pastor career, she has been with us for over two years now! She has past work experience as a chaplain at two different hospitals and a decade long career working not-for profit businesses both religious and non-religious. Pastor Annela grew up most of her life in Arlee, Montana and her husband, Reese is from St. Paul, Minnesota. They met in St. Paul while working together at a Natural Foods Cooperative. Their daughter, Ilmari "Mari," and son, Berom "Bear" are big blessings in their lives. Reese works in logistics and was most recently working as the operations manager of a vegan food company out of California (no they are not vegan, deer are just too tasty!). They are a family that appreciates good food, warm fires and snow! They were both raised to appreciate the land and enjoy hiking, floating the rivers (or reservoirs), fishing, skiing, hunting and hanging out with friends and family.
