Jenna Trethewey

Jenna comes to us with over 20 years of administrative experience! She worked for 3 years at a Lutheran church in South Bend. She said that coming back to work at a Lutheran church feels like “coming home.” She is excited to serve us here!


Jenna is Brian’s wife of over 20 years, mom to two grown kids: Emily & Will, grandmother to 9 month old Gwen, aunt to Maggie, entrepreneur of the Olive Tale & an Army veteran. She loves music, hiking, reading, playing cards & board games, air conditioning, all things British & the Royal Family, the Pacific Northwest especially the Oregon coast specifically Cannon Beach.


Her guilty pleasures are coffees that can double as desserts, embarrassing daily chocolate consumption, binging tv at impressive speeds and spending entire days in her pajamas.


When Jenna is not in the office you can usually find her creating her art in her home studio, camping at Potato Creek or snuggling with her emotionally unstable “boggle” dog, Dinah. She loves her family more than life itself so most of her free time is spent with them or her best friend, Erin, & their shenanigans include bowling to thrifting to getting tattoos to day trips into Michigan.
