Ana Maria Podgaiskaya
Pastoral Resident 2024-2025
Ana Maria is a hospital chaplain and a self-described musical theatre nerd. She was raised in Kyiv, Ukraine and spent the last year living there and helping with war relief efforts.
As our Pastoral Resident for 2024-25, Ana Maria is focused on pastoral care, worship, liturgy, and spiritual formation through play.
She has chaplaincy experience with trafficked women, people with church hurt, abused peoples, and kids. She loves talking with, listening, and praying for people, especially those who aren’t sure how they feel about God.
As a mixed Hispanic woman, she cares deeply for immigrants and those on the margins of society.
