Greetings from your Southwestern Washington Synod -

We are very pleased to announce that this week we welcomed Pastor Melissa Anderson Trust to the Synod staff team!

Pastor Melissa has begun in the half-time role of Associate DEM, and will focus on supporting new ministries across the Synod in partnership with DEM Joey Ager and other staff members. 

Pastor Melissa was ordained in 2022 and served as Associate Pastor at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Olympia. She brings to this role experience in Chaplaincy and local ministry and a commitment to the Synod’s vision of 'Shalom at every level of life.’ 

Please join us in welcoming Pastor Melissa! She can be reached at Melissa.Anderson-Trust@elca.org

 Blessings,
Stefanie DeZarn
