Pastor Barbara Barry began serving Trinity Lutheran Mechanicsburg as intentional interim pastor on October 12, 2025 . She served two congregations as a called/settled pastor before the Holy Spirit called her to use her gifts for interim ministry. Her first call was to Quickel Lutheran, York PA where she served 9 years from 2009 – 2018. She then moved to Trinity Greencastle and served 3 years from 2018 – 2022. Her first interim call was to Solomon’s Lutheran in Chambersburg where she served one- and one-half years before being called to Trinity Chambersburg for two years. Pastor Barb was ordained in June 2009 after graduating from Gettysburg Seminary in 2008.  She is passionate about proclaiming God’s love as found in the gospels; we are freed to love and serve others because God first loved us. Pastor Barb lives in the Greencastle Borough with her cat, Gus.  She has two married daughters Stephanie and Kristen.  She currently has 3 loves of her life, Emmett, her grandson, and Gwen and Serenity, her granddaughters, who fill her life with joy and laughter.  When not involved with church or community, Pastor Barb can be found socializing with friends, reading, puttering in her garden, or hiking and camping in the woods.
