Rev. Laura Robinson; pastor@thepeacechurch.org
Rev. Laura Robinson arrived at Peace Church in August 2022. And while she’s excited to be living in and exploring the Upstate, she’s still a Pacific Northwest local through and through – raised in Seattle and spending many years in Eastern Washington and the Columbia Gorge. Laura attended seminary at Candler School of Theology and since graduating in 2017, she’s served churches in Des Moines, IA and White Salmon, WA. She’s been ordained in the United Church of Christ since 2018.
She believes deeply in communities of faith that are containers for deep healing, courageous dreaming, fruitful slowing down, and abundant love. As our world and the planet continue to change rapidly, she believes interconnected communities are deeply needed as the places we root ourselves in God’s liberative grace and find the courage and faith needed to imagine a different way of being. Imagining different ways of being and then actually putting them into practice is the creative tension she lives within most of her days. Pastor Laura is a writer, a dreamer, a voracious reader, a meditative walker, and a lover of all things having to do with the outdoors and good food. Someday she hopes to be an intentionally slow nurturer of the land she lives on and a good cook. She lives in Greenville with her partner Noah, dog Georgie, and cat Odin.
