2024 Retreat Pastor

Hi, I’m Pastor Colleen Montgomery. I’ve been a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America since 2014. I’m a graduate of Roanoke College in Salem, VA and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. I also serve as the Director for Digital Ministries for the Virginia Synod - ELCA.

Some places that are special to me are the Great Lakes, Camp Lutherlyn, Virginia, Poland, the mountains, and anywhere she gathers with those I love - including Zoom Rooms! 

I came out as bisexual in 2021 and living into my queer identity as a person and pastor has brought me deep joy.

I love being an aunt to my nieces and nephews, hiking with my friends, cross-stitching, and reading, listening to, and watching stories.
