OUR CHURCH STAFF
Pastor Chris Wulff................................................................................Pastor Chris
Most recently the pastor at Cross and Crown Lutheran in Indianapolis, Pastor Wulff brings energy and a passion for God’s people to Peace Lutheran and the Charlottesville community. A graduate of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, she pursued a career in basic research before being called to ministry.
A native of New York, Pastor Wulff is excited to return to the East Coast, explore the Charlottesville community, and dig into the ministries, worship, and community at Peace. In the meantime, she is getting to know the Peace community via zoom, facetime, socially distant coffee meet-ups and by phone, and is exploring the area on long dog walks or on her bike. (She pedals and she rides a motorcycle.) Pastor Chris joined Peace Lutheran on May 1, 2020 and led her first livestreamed worship service on May 3. She hopes that joining a congregation during a pandemic is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (pastorchriswulff@gmail.com)

Director of Music Ministry....................................................... Katrina Sutton
Making music has been my passion since I was a young child. Having earned a Bachelors Degree in Music Education (Vocal and Instrumental) and a Masters in Educational Leadership, I have had the privilege of teaching music/choir in the public schools as well as teaching private piano lessons for over 25 years.
I've loved Jesus and His church since I was 9. It was in church that God placed His call on my life to minister in music. I have been involved with many churches over the years and still enjoy the challenge of combining musicians of every age and skill level into teams who are willing to continue learning and growing. If you are interested in becoming involved, I would love to talk with you! (plcmusicminister@gmail.com)
