Such wonderful news!!!

Pastor Julie Hutson has been called as new Pastor for Gloria Dei!!! Between services on Sunday, 192 members of Gloria Dei filled Luther Hall for a special congregational meeting. There was a great and joyful spirit present as we voted by an overwhelming majority to Call Pastor Julie Hutson as Senior Pastor at Gloria Dei. We learned Monday that Rev. Julie has accepted the call to become our full-time, permanent pastor! She will be officially starting on Sunday, October 15th, joining us for worship that day, and begin full-time the following week.

Pastor Julie comes to us with a distinguished and varied career in ministry and music. With stints in Ohio, Alabama, Seattle, and most recently Gig Harbor, she has a wealth of experience and many stories to tell. A graduate of Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Pastor Julie received her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama and is just finishing up her doctorate in Ministry at the University of the South School of Theology & Ministry.

Pastor Julie and her husband Bruce will be moving to Olympia soon. Please join us in welcoming Pastor Julie and Bruce to the Gloria Dei Family!
