Pastor Anna (she/her) was ordained to the ministry of word and sacrament on January 30, 2021. She received her M.Div in May 2021 from United Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia and Gettysburg, PA. She is originally from East Tennessee but has lived in Syracuse, NY and Philadelphia, PA since beginning her ministry. Pastor Anna currently resides in Ypsilanti with her wife, Monique, and children, Laynee and Ezra. You will almost always find her with a coffee in hand, and most everything in her home is lavender or pumpkin scented depending on the season. Her signature lavender lemonade is a staple of the FedUp Food Truck, and her Annual Pumpkin Party is an event that FedUp guests can look forward to every Fall.
Pastor Anna is passionate about antiracism work and queer inclusion in the Church. She also cares deeply for those who are food and housing insecure. FedUp Ministries is the place where these passions meet.
