About the Pastor:

 

Rev. Vicki Garber (Pastor Vicki) was born and raised in rural South Dakota. She graduated from Augustana College in 1973 with a degree in Biology and Sociology, from Illinois College of Optometry in 1977 with a Doctor of Optometry degree and from Trinity Lutheran Seminary in 1994 with a Master of Divinity. Prior to her ordination, Pastor Vicki worked as a private practice optometrist.

Pastor Garber was the 1993 recipient of the prestigious "Biblical Scholarship Award" given by Trinity Lutheran Seminary. She was ordained on June 9, 1994 after accepting a call to the joint parish of Bethany and St. Mark Lutheran Churches in Louisville, Kentucky.

In November of 2000, she accepted the call to become the Senior Pastor of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Crestview Hills, Kentucky, where she currently serves.

Pastor Vicki is married to Phillip Garber. Phil is also an ordained ELCA clergy. They have four children (in and out of the nest); Amelia, Erikk, Joshua, and Nicole. Loving and enjoying her family is a top priority for Pastor Vicki.

Pastor Vicki has many and varied ministry interests as well; most especially teaching, preaching, ecumenism, and evangelism. She currently serves as a Partner-Associate in Evangelism for the National Church and is the Dean of the East Kentucky Conference of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod. She frequently leads spirituality, motivational, leadership, and evangelism workshops and retreats around the country.

In addition, Pastor Garber has served as a featured panelist for the Academy for Evangelists in the area of "Effective Preaching and Teaching", as a board member of the Barnabus Center, and developer of the radio talk show "GodTalk for Real Life".

Pastor Vicki likes reading, music, camping, and needlepoint. But her greatest joy is sharing the Gospel, especially through story.
