Since July 1, 2025, Pastor Katrina Pahulu has served as the half-time pastor of Patagonia Community United Methodist Church. She enjoys exploring Scripture, wrestling with difficult passages, and inviting others to discover the richness of God's Word together.
Originally from Hawaii and shaped by years of ministry in California, Katrina brings a heart for hospitality, discipleship, and compassionate service. She is currently pursuing her Master of Divinity at Claremont School of Theology and is a certified candidate for ordained ministry in the Desert Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church.
Favorite Scripture - Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Katrina has a special passion for prayer and fasting, spiritual formation, women's ministry, and creating spaces where people can encounter God's love. Outside of ministry, she enjoys traveling, staying active, lifelong learning, spending time with family, and connecting with others through sports and gaming.
She considers it a joy and privilege to serve the Patagonia community and welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside others as they grow in faith and follow Jesus Christ.
