Christephor Gilbert is pastor of St. Ansgar Lutheran Church in Portland. He hails from Louisville, Kentucky, is a graduate of Bard College in upstate New York, and completed his ministry studies in Chicago, but ministry is perhaps Christephor’s second or even third career. He has an extensive background in the performing arts as a dancer and choreographer, as an actor and costume designer, and as a director. Before arriving in Portland, he worked for Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries, an organization that affirms and supports LGBTQ+ faith leaders in the Lutheran tradition. He’s also an active member of Proclaim, the professional organization of queer Lutheran pastors and seminarians. Christephor lives in Portland with his husband Donald.
