Lead Pastor - Jane Prestbye

Since September 1999, Kent Lutheran Church has had the pleasure of Pastor Jane Prestbye serving as lead pastor. She and her husband Fergus reside nearby in downtown Kent, Washington. She has lived in northwest Washington all her life except for some time in Minnesota while studying for her Masters of Divinity at Luther Seminary. She has served several congregations in the northwest area including Bellingham, Seattle, and Bothell, where she devoted time to Christian Education and Youth Ministry. Before accepting her call to Kent Lutheran Church, she was on the faculty of Trinity Lutheran College (formerly LBI) for thirteen years. Pastor Jane excels at getting people together to talk, listen, think, pray, laugh, and serve. She delights in any opportunity to help people consider God’s love in and through their lives.

Ministry Associate for Visitation & Spiritual Formation - Kimberly Wuest

Kimberly Wuest began as Lay Ministry Leader at Kent Lutheran Church in September 2000. She plays a vital and joyous role as she learns, serves, grows, and prays with the people of the congregation. She has served various areas of the northwest, including the San Juan Islands, Issaquah, and Longview before moving to Kent. She has an undergraduate degree in Anthropology (an interesting complement for church work) and is currently working towards her Associate in Ministry. She has a passion for prayer and for helping people find God’s love in action in their everyday lives.
