My name is Joyce Partyka. I have been a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Highland, Indiana for 23 years (my entire life). I have just recently graduated from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion with minors in music and psychology. I am currently attending Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio to pursue a Master of Divinity degree.
Currently I am serving as Lutheran Student Movement’s Regional President for Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky (the IMOK Region), I have been elected to the Indiana–Kentucky Synod Council as the Youth and Young Adult representative, and have been elected my class president.
