Rev. Tricia Petraven
Tricia Petraven is an artist and a former scenic designer for the stage, who became a pastor as a second career. She believes in using our creativity and imagination to make art that points us to Jesus and helps us see God’s love. After graduating from seminary 10 years ago with an M.Div., Tricia soon became a trained transitional minister, especially being drawn to churches that had experienced trauma. She found her artistic approach to worship was particularly helpful when dealing with brokenness and healing through grief.
Tricia states, “In today’s world of short attention spans and social media, we need to engage with our beliefs and our faith even more intentionally. It’s not enough to be a passive listener in church. What keeps our faith on fire is participating in worship with as much as we can, with all our gifts, all our questions, all our talents, all our complicated lives. Then it becomes vital, it
heals our hurts and gives us meaning.”
