Barbara_SchmidtIn 1986 I graduated from Colorado State University with a BS in Human Development and Family Studies. This is the study of the developmental tasks and needs of humans from conception to old age, death and dying. My emphasis was on adolescents and the elderly.

I was ordained in 2004 with an emphasis in Pastoral Counseling. I have taken more than 23 courses in emotional, mental, spiritual and biblical counseling.  I enjoy offering pre-marital counseling and helping couples learn communication techniques. I love all parts of my ministry at Trinity and especially enjoy participating in mission trips, teaching first year confirmation, officiating at weddings, and ministering to the homebound and the elderly.

I have been blessed with the calling from God and the congregation to serve in many areas at Trinity. I have been growing and glowing in the love of Jesus for 55 years and eagerly look forward to see where the Holy Spirit leads me in the future. Trinity Lutheran Church provides an environment that allows all of us in the congregation to grow in our love for God and each other.
