Rev. Marissa Sotos: When Millenials and Gen Z Lead
2022-08-22
Queer-Affirming, Millennial & Gen Z Led. That's how Tree of Life Lutheran in Minneapolis describes themselves. Rev. Marissa Sotos shares what a faith community like this looks like. What happens when we let go of "the way it's always been done," and try something new? What happens when elders are led by youngers, and vice versa? What happens when we release the need for certainty and instead embrace a faith of doubt and curiosity?
Listen to find out!
About Rev. Marissa
Marissa Sotos has been pastor and church planter at Tree of Life Lutheran since 2016. She loves the energy and creativity of Northeast Minneapolis and getting to be part of this vibrant little community called Tree of Life.
Marissa holds a Bachelor of Music in Harp Performance from St. Olaf College and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She is originally from Monrovia, CA where she grew up in a fundamentalist sect. After half a decade of atheism and flirting with Buddhism, she fell in love with the Lutheran church's focus on grace, care for neighbor, constant reformation and embrace of paradox.
In addition to pastoring Tree, Marissa is the Liturgical Design Coordinator at Central Lutheran Church and is pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Liturgy from St. John’s University.
She and her wife Maggie enjoy reading, camping, crosswords and hanging out with their goofy German Shepherd, Xander.
