Pastor Chamie Delksekamp Rev. Chamie Delkeskamp is a graduate of Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and a 7-year camp staff veteran of Lutheran Bible camps.  However, she is a United Methodist pastor.  In 7th grade, her friend Susan invited her to go to youth group at the First United Methodist Church in Aberdeen, SD.  Chamie says that church saved her life in every way a person can be saved.  Chamie has since then served the local church in the area of children, youth, and family ministries.  She knows what it is like to feel passionate about the calling to ministry, but to sometimes feel tired, beat-up, and burnt-out.  When on a much needed vacation, she read Wayne Muller’s Sabbath.  She was completely convicted when Muller noted that the Chinese word for “busy” is the two pictographs of “heart” and “killing.”  It was shortly after that time that Chamie began seeing her own spiritual director.  She then felt the call to become a spiritual director for others.  She graduated with a certification in spiritual direction from Stillpoint: The Center for Christian Spirituality in Pasadena, CA.  Chamie currently serves as the Resource Pastor for the California-Pacific Conference of the United Methodist Church, leads a ministry called Raising Micah (www.raisingmicah.org), and loves life with her husband Tim, associate pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church & School in Thousand Oaks, and their three “Lutherist” children.

She has an insatiable appetite for the gospel and is passionateabout making a diffference in the world around her.
