Pastor Ann Marshall   

Reverend Anita Marshall (Pastor Ann) was ordained into the ministry of Word and Sacrament in October 1997 and began her ministry at Mt. Pleasant and St. Mark’s shortly thereafter. A native of Tiffin, Ohio, Pastor Ann grew up in the countryside outside of town and has a love of small town and country living. She is second oldest of four children. After graduating from Tiffin Columbian High School in 1977, Pastor Ann moved to Columbus, Ohio and attended Ohio State University, where she received a Bachelor of Science of Social Welfare in March 1982. From that time until she entered seminary in 1993, Pastor Ann worked as a social worker and administrator at the Salvation Army and Faith Mission, both in Columbus. Those critical years increased her appreciation for the diversity of God’s people and the need for the church to be a voice for social justice. She continues to be an advocate for the homeless, poor and marginalized people of our society. Pastor Ann entered Trinity Lutheran Seminary in June 1993 and completed her Master of Divinity degree in 1997. The Mt. Pleasant-St. Mark’s  Parish is her first call. Pastor Ann is married to Michael Montgomery. She has two children, Sarah (21) and Nathaniel (17), two dogs, and three cats.
