Katie Adelman
is a rostered Associate in Ministry, serving as primary
staff leader and coordinator of Faith Formation, Worship and Music
ministries. Katie believes that music and the arts are God's gifts given
to lead us to a deeper, richer experience of God's grace. As a clinician,
consultant, and worship leader, Katie seeks to use the musical language as a
tool for teaching and a doorway to God's Word. In July of 2007, Katie
began the role of President for the Association
of Lutheran Church Musicians, an 1800 member pan-Lutheran professional
organization supporting musicians and pastors who plan, prepare, and lead
worship.
