Pastor

Pastor Lily began ministry with Bethany Lutheran in November 2022. Like most corn, she grew up in the great state of Iowa. She attended Luther College where she earned a B.A. in biology. After living in Senegal for a year with the ELCA's Young Adults in Global Mission program she began seminary at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque. She graduated with a Masters of Divinity from Wartburg in May 2022. She and her husband Alex enjoy spending time outdoors, drinking coffee, and making up new nicknames for their cat, Mrs. Whiskertins. Pastor Lily enjoys connecting people to the Gospel message through worship and service. She loves to walk with people of all ages as they seek relationships with others, creation, and the God who loves them beyond measure.
