ELCA REPRESENTATIVE

The Rev. Norma E Malfatti

The Reverend Norma Malfatti serves as the Director for Director for Evangelical Mission Support in the Christian Community and Leadership Home Area of the ELCA’s churchwide organization. In this role, she accompanies and equips the 70 Directors for Evangelical Mission (DEMs) in the ELCA and partners with their bishop in supervising their ministry. She also accompanies and supports each synod bishop when the synod is calling a new DEM. As part of her work she serves on churchwide’s Multi-Ethnic Ministry Initiative, God’s Love Made Real Transformation Team and the Synod Engagement Team. Prior to serving the churchwide organization she served as a DEM for eight years, first in the Upstate New York Synod and then in the Minneapolis Area Synod, and as a parish pastor in New York and rural Maryland. In Pastor Norma’s earlier professional days she managed apartment buildings across the metropolitan New York area for low-income seniors and people with physical disabilities.

When not working from her home or traveling across the ELCA, Pastor Norma spends time reading, hiking, being herded by her three finicky cats and rooting for the New York Yankees!
