Intro Natalie

Natalie Gessert is the youngest member of our SALT II group and is a“visiting member” of the IN-KY Synod. She arrived from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and has interned at Christ Lutheran Church in Valparaiso, IN since August 2007 under the guidance of Pastor Jerry Castleman. Prior to seminary Natalie graduated from Roanoke College in 2003. She has a long history of relocations with her family: born in ND, then NE, MI, Germany, Slovakia, VA, MN, and of course, IN. Her parents and youngest brother reside in Fairfax, VA, while her middle brother works as an engineer in VA Beach, VA. Natalie takes delight in the ministry of the church and supplements her work with running, reading, and challenging others to rounds of Scrabble. Natalie is excited, curious, and filled with joy at the opportunity to develop relationships with members of the HKBP!
