Pastoral Team
Donna is an Elder in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference who recently retired from the First UMC of Portland, Oregon, where she served as Senior Pastor for the past 10 years. Prior to that, Donna spent 8 years as District Superintendent and pastored churches of various sizes throughout western Oregon.
Donna shares her home with a 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Oliver), who seems to believe he is the head of the household. When not engaged in ministry (which she loves), Donna enjoys painting silk, swimming, cooking, piano playing, hiking, and just hanging out with friends. A self-identified progressive Christian, Donna believes that joy is a hallmark of faith, and looks forward to partnering with Pastor Ann and all the saints in Edmonds to share that joy.
