The Rev. Nicole Schwalbe

Pastor Nicole Schwalbe has been serving in the Metro New York Synod for twenty years. She spent time on Long Island in her pastoral internship and in Manhattan serving in campus ministry before landing in Westchester County at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection for the past 15 years.

 

Before working in ministry Nicole was a speech-language-pathologist and also worked with the ELCA’s Division for Global Mission as an English teacher in the Slovak Republic. Pastor Nicole has found great joy in parish ministry in relationship and community building and is passionate about thinking of the many and various ways our ministries can be relevant and life-giving in our specific communities.

 

She enjoys ecumenical work and is most happy when working with communities and colleagues to figure out where the spirit is blowing and how we can be a part of its movement. Nicole is supported by a loving husband and three children ranging from college age to 7th grade.

 

Her happy places are with her dog on a hiking trail or a coffee shop with a good book or friend. In both her personal and professional lives she tries to honor the gifts of God she has been given and help others do the same.
