Living Faith Lutheran, Le Mars, Iowa
​
Pastor Paige McGrath (she/her) is a 2025 graduate of Wartburg Theological Seminary, where she earned her Master of Divinity. She also completed a Bachelor of Music in Music Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa in 2018. Pastor Paige is passionate about education and is committed to being a lifelong learner. She has ministry experience through Lutheran Lakeside Camp, where she served in multiple roles, and St. Luke Lutheran Church – Sioux City, where she completed a 4-year internship as a vicar.
​
She is excited to be joining the ministry of Living Faith Lutheran Church! Pastor Paige is especially gifted in children’s ministry, preaching, and teaching. She likes to bring creativity and new life to worship and Bible studies. Some of her most meaningful moments of ministry have been at camp, in hospital rooms, and parking lots. She believes God shows up in unexpected places through unlikely people. Sometimes she is lucky enough to be one of those people.
​
Pastor Paige is a 30-year-old, chronically ill, queer woman. She is the daughter of a strong, independent mother and a proud father. She is a sister to two siblings, an auntie to two sweet little girls, a partner to her beloved girlfriend, and a flawed friend to many. Pastor Paige is a poet, a musician, a painter, and an adult coloring book enthusiast. She loves big earrings, anything sugary, salty snacks, and big bodies of water.
While set apart as a pastor, she is simply a human – a beloved child of God, created, formed, redeemed, and called.
