The Rev. Melanie Salsgiver, Deacon is our Associate for Ministry, Deacon, and Seminarian attending the hybrid Master’s in Divinity program at The General Theological Seminary of The Episcopal Church.
Deacon Melanie brings over three decades of clinical practice & healthcare leadership to her ministry - her career in academic medical centers across the US and in global settings shaped her heart for pastoral care.
In her journey, Deacon Melanie discerned a call to the priesthood. As part of her formation she served at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church and previously served on the board of Grace Mission Episcopal Church.
Deacon Melanie spent much of her life standing at thresholds - bedsides, aircraft hangars, sacristies, boardrooms, small groups, hospital corridors, parishioner’s homes - in each, the Holy Spirit led her to a deeper question: Where is God in this?
She invites you to walk with us and ask your questions.
Deacon Melanie is married to her husband, Erik, and they’re the proud parents of three adult children, and grands to the coolest kids ever!
