Director of Admissions

Pastor Shari Ayers packs and repacks her bags as the Director of Admissions. She’s a 1996 graduate of Trinity and served two congregations in Northeast Ohio before returning to serve on the staff of her alma mater in 2006. Before attending Trinity, she graduated from the Ohio State University where she managed to change her major five times and still graduate in four years. Pastor Shari has a particular interest in vocational discernment, spiritual direction, and retreat ministry. She is known as “our person” to two cats that don’t come when she calls them.

Laura Book is the newest member to the admissions team at Trinity Lutheran Seminary and primarily assists young adults in their vocational discernment for both seminary and the Summer Seminary Sampler—the seminary’s high school program.She graduated from St. Olaf College with a degree in sociology and graduated from Trinity Seminary in 2007 with her Masters of Theological Studies.  Laura is rostered in the ELCA as an Associate in Ministry and is amused by the fact that the 6-degrees-of-separation are much closer to   2-degrees-of-separation when she travels in Lutheran circles.
