Pastor Barbara and her brother

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.

Barbara has participated in the life of the church in various ways and has traveled in Europe and Central America. She experienced a call to ministry late in life after raising two daughters and working in several different people-related occupations.  Barbara’s first service at Prineville was June 15th, 2008. Her installation was July 27th, 2008.
This picture is Barbara and her brother Richard taken at the trailhead of Pre’s Trail in Eugene Oregon in Spring 2010.  Learning to run has been a joy and source of pride after all those years of study and church work.
