Growing up Lutheran is not a direct path to being a pastor. Being a French major in college is not an automatic indicator for someone headed toward the ministry, but the life, the studies and the experience have all shaped the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Nelson T. Strobert. He has served as a Religious Educator in the Virgin Islands and a parish pastor at Advent Lutheran Church in Cleveland. He retired in 2013 as Professor of Christian Education from Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary [now United Lutheran Seminary], where he was recognized as the first tenured faculty of color. He is the author of Daniel Alexander Payne: The Venerable Preceptor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who was also the second African American ordained as a Lutheran in the United States.
