Barbara comes to OSLC from Santa Barbara, California, after graduating for Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in 2006. Students at PLTS are part of the Graduate Theological Union and often participate in classes with students of other denominations and tradtions. This training prepares pastors to work across tradtions and cultures, a very realistic preparation for the religious world of today. Pastor Barbara finds the small-town, country life of Prineville quite different from the urban world in which she lived and trained before coming to Central Oregon. Training to work in different cultures has been helpful as she learns to love life in a Cowboy Town.
