Rev. Alexandra (Ali) Tranvik
Rev. Ali Tranvik
joined the Cross of Glory community in 2020. Pastor Ali and her husband
Isak are originally from the Twin Cities, but most recently lived in
Durham, NC, where Pastor Ali attended Duke Divinity School and later
served as Lutheran Campus Pastor at Duke (cut her some slack as she
tries to stop saying “y’all” after six years of living in the South).
Pastor Ali's call to ministry was informed and deepened through
community organizing in Durham, working at La Casa del Migrante in
Tijuana, Mexico, and studying the church's role in the Holocaust as part
of the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics in
Berlin, Germany. Pastor Ali is passionate about building
relationships between the church and neighborhood, gathering to break
bread with neighbors, and writing at the intersection of faith and public life. In her free time, she enjoys
camping, reading, and trying to locate the best tacos in town. Pastor
Ali is thrilled to be part of the Brooklyn Center community. She would
love to hear from you at: atranvik@crossofglory.us.
