 About Travis Wilson

I AM A PASTOR, HUSBAND, FATHER, AND TRAVELER OF THESE ROADS…

I am a lover of words, coffee, people, technology, and God. Living in Michigan, I am an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church In America (ELCA). The views on this blog are entirely my own and do not reflect my congregation or my denomination.​I was ordained in 2012 as a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church In America. I have served two congregations in Michigan as a pastor, have done work in hospital chaplaincy, youth ministry, and also technology support.

​​

My degrees are a Masters of Divinity from Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Roanoke College. Originally from Virginia, I love all things from the south – biscuits and gravy, sweet tea, grits, and southern hospitality.

​

My wife, Kristen, and I met in college and got married after graduation. In 2016, we welcomed our daughter Lorelai into our world and our lives and it has been both a joy and challenge to be a parent, but one I wouldn’t give up. Both of them bring great joy to my life and the world.

​

When I’m not in church or talking about church, I enjoy coffee maybe a little too much. I also like to try and play either the piano, guitar, or bass guitar whenever my schedule allows. Reading and writing are two of my favorite things where I can both process and create, and being a creator of something is very energizing.

I am also legally blind and navigate the world well, but I am increasingly noticing things that don’t come so easy any longer. I have a heart for people who are on the margins of our world and desire them to know they too are beloved, worthy of respect and dignity, and a vital part of our world.
