We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Pastor Jen has been named Bishop Elect of the Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) Synod of the ELCA, following her election at the Synod Assembly on June 6, 2026. She will serve a six-year term beginning 
September 1st.
This is a profound honor for Pastor Jen, and for all of us at Trinity who have been blessed by her leadership and ministry. We offer her our heartfelt congratulations and our prayers as she prepares for this new and important call.
As Bishop Elect, Pastor Jen will be transitioning out of her role as Lead Pastor. What that transition looks like for Trinity—and the exciting journey of
calling new pastoral leadership—will unfold in the months ahead.
Please keep Pastor Jen, Billy, and Trinity Lutheran Church in your prayers during this time of change and new beginnings.
