Minister

Rev. Carrie Martens

Rev. Carrie sums up her call to ministry simply as: Love God’s people; share God’s story. She is passionate about the intergenerational church and her faith is rooted in the knowledge that we are all created in the image and likeness of a loving, creating, and reconciling God. This belief grounds her understanding of church that is affirming and challenges dominant narratives that exclude and oppress.
​
When Carrie isn’t in the office she loves to cook, read fiction, and hang out with her partner, Alicia and their daughter, Annalie. ​
