Anna started at BLC as the Family Faith Formation Ministry Director in the summer of 2016. She graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2009 with a Bachelor’s in Spanish and Ethnic Studies. After college, her passion for youth ministry led her to volunteer at her home congregation, Trinity in Owatonna, and, later, to her role as Youth Director for 6 years at Zion Lutheran in Stewartville, MN.
Though her title at Bethlehem is long, her purpose is simple: to nurture our families, especially those with children and youth, in faith. She especially loves working with the people of Bethlehem because we’re not afraid to try new things, even if we fail sometimes. Nurturing our families and our community is our priority, and it shows in everything we do.
In her personal life, she loves traveling (especially if she can speak Spanish), hiking, gardening trying new foods and recipes, visiting her three godchildren, and being outside whenever possible.
