Meet The Pastor

In November of 2003, we called The Rev. Tim Oslovich to serve as our pastor at Trinity. Pastor Oslovich, his wife, Synje, and their son, Samuel, came to us from Shishmaref, Alaska, an Inupiaq Eskimo village of approximately 600 people, 20 miles south of the Arctic Circle. They also have a daughter, Elisabeth, who was born here in Connecticut in 2005.

Before serving in Alaska, Pastor Tim completed an M.Div. degree at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. Prior to that, he served at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Arlington, MA for about three years.

Pastor Tim has a Master's degree in theology from Harvard and is interested in the intersection between Christian faith and postmodern culture. His hobbies include reading, movies, enjoying the Great Outdoors, and, when he gets the opportunity, eating Native Alaskan food.

Pastor Tim currently serves as the Chairperson of the Connecticut Coalition to Save Darfur, a network of organizations that works to end the ongoing violence in Darfur and all of Sudan.
