Anna Voelker

Anna Voelker was baptized, confirmed, and educated at St. John’s-Sauers Lutheran Church (and School) in Seymour, Indiana. She graduated from Trinity Lutheran High School in Seymour in May of 2020. Anna continued her studies at Concordia University Chicago where she was involved with campus ministry groups and had the opportunity to do fieldwork at multiple locations. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theology in May 2024, and received her deaconess certification in May 2025.  

In 2023, Anna began her two-year internship as the deaconess intern at Ascension Lutheran Church in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. There she focused on reaching out and witnessing to the people in the community (many of whom were immigrants and refugees) and providing spiritual care and support to members and neighbors. During the summer between the two years, she briefly returned to Seymour and she and her husband, Noah, were married at St. John’s. Anna and Noah returned to Canada until May of 2025 as she completed her internship.  

Anna’s diaconal training specializes in acts of mercy, spiritual care, and teaching the faith. She enjoys planning ministry programs and is experienced in creating curriculum and activities for various church groups. Anna’s passion is to share the Good News of the Gospel to all whom she interacts with.
