Pastor: Rev. Christopher Drummond (He/Him)


I have a wonderful job. I get to walk with the people of Gloria Dei to know and love God and one another more deeply. Sometimes that means life passages where we are especially attuned to our relationships with God – like at marriage, death, or baptism. Sometimes it means telling stories to our Sunday School children or, together with our Northfield Lutheran Parish partners, serving our neighbor and taking a stand for justice. Always it means engaging our scriptures and crafting liturgy with my colleagues that illuminates God’s word. To my mind, there is no more important or interesting work to do. I hope we can meet and join in this work together.
