 Alex Linn is an approved candidate for ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, shaped by a vocation at the crossroads of community, creativity, and care. With a Master of Divinity from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and a background in music performance, Alex brings together a love of worship, pastoral care, and spiritual formation. He has served in campus ministry, outdoor ministry, and parish settings, most recently as Bridge Minister at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Wilmette, not too far away! Grounded in an ethic of Christian hospitality, Alex is passionate about accompanying people in transitional seasons of life, fostering spaces of belonging, and embodying the mysteries of faith through word, sacrament, and service. He will generally be in the church office from 10am-1pm Monday through Thursday, and at special events with the people of this congregation. He considers it a joy to walk alongside you.
