Pr. Jacqui Pagel

Synod Administrator and Bishop’s Associate for Candidacy and Faith Formation

Pr. Jacqui believes the young people in our church are the NOW of the ELCA and our future belongs to God. In her role as Associate to the Bishop for Candidacy and Faith Formation, she looks forward to helping the 90 congregations and worshipping sites across the Grand Canyon Synod appreciate the value that everyone under the age of 25 brings. She looks forward to sharing the many ways we can celebrate that value from young people as we all graciously grow old. She was called as the pastor at Trinity in Northwest Phoenix for the first 10 years of her ministry and currently works in the Office of Bishop of the GCS. Jacqui enjoys making her house a home for her husband, her mother, her three young-adult children, her dog and cat.
