Pastors Gabi and Meghan

Pastors Gabi and Meghan Aelabouni began their call to serve as the pastors to God’s people at Trinity Lutheran Church in November 2010.

Pastor Gabi was born and raised in a small town in the Galilee region, near Nazareth. Although he has heard that “no good can come out of Nazareth,” he feels that some of his neighbors have done pretty well over the last 2,000 years—especially a certain Nazarene named Jesus. A lifelong Christian, Gabi moved to the U.S in 2001 in order to study theology and to become an ordained pastor in the Lutheran church.

Pastor Gabi received a B.A. in Psychology and Criminology from Unisa University in Israel, and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. He previously served congregations in the Chicago area. Pastor Gabi is passionate about sharing the good news with God’s people. By God’s grace, he strives to empower others to be disciples in their congregation, community and the world, and to work for God’s reign of justice and peace.

Pastor Meghan grew up in Wyoming and California. She was nurtured in the Christian faith by ELCA congregations, camps and youth gatherings. Discerning a call to serve the church, Meghan received a B.A. in Religion and English from California Lutheran University and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Pastor Meghan previously served as a pastor in the Chicago area.

In addition to serving in local congregations, Pastor Meghan has been active in the Lutheran World Federation and is a former intern and writer for The Lutheran magazine. Pastor Meghan is passionate about helping to “get the Gospel heard” through preaching and teaching that connects faith to everyday life. She also finds joy in building one on one and community relationships in which the grace of God and the living body of Christ can be known and felt.

Pastors Gabi and Meghan and their toddler son, Ethan, are thrilled to be part of the Trinity family and the Fort Collins community. Trinity’s pastors invite you to join the community of faith at Trinity for worship, to visit them with your questions or concerns, and to know that you are a beloved child of God!
