LaMP's Pastors

Picture
The Rev. Becca Seely
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Becca is one half of the dynamic duo that provides pastoral leadership for LaMP.  In addition to serving as LaMP's co-pastor, Becca serves as Director of The Vine NYC Campus Ministry Network and Executive Director of Lutheran Ministries in Higher Education.  She was not raised in church and first began to explore questions of faith when she was in college.  As a result, she is particularly passionate about working with young adults who are asking questions about God and what gives our lives meaning and purpose.  In her free time, Becca enjoys running and biking in Central Park, hanging out with her wife and son, and planning elaborate theme parties and attempting absurdly complicated craft projects.  She holds a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School and a Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan University. Becca is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

He is currently in his second term on the New York Conference Board of Ordained Ministry. He serves on the Board of Directors of West Side Campaign Against Hunger. He has taught at Drew Theological School and Union Theological Seminary.  He is passionate about interfaith work, ministry with the poor and marginalized, and the possibility of an inclusive church.
