            Lucas Grubbs attended the University of Idaho and after studying in Zaragoza, Spain for a year, received his B.A. in Spanish in ’01.  He attended Yale/Berkeley Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut where he received his M.Div in ’05.  During his time at seminary, Lucas worked for a summer with the Anglican Church in Spain, spent a semester abroad at Westcott House Anglican Seminary in Cambridge, England, and worked as a seminary intern at Christ Church, New Haven.  In ’06 he returned to Yale Divinity School to work on an S.T.M. in liturgical studies.  Having been ordained in ’05, he simultaneously served his first curacy at Christ Church, New Haven for two years.  It was there that he began organizing young adult ministry.  

            “Christ Church was unique in that it is such a deeply liturgical place—and that, I believe, was immensely attractive to a large young adult contingency,” says Lucas.  In order to minister to this section of the congregation, he organized various events for the 20/30’s set.  “We often had progressive dinners in people’s homes, took part in parish projects and shared Eucharist together.  The combination of a relaxed atmosphere, good food and drink and informal theological discussions made for a great young adult ministry experience.”

            In the summer of ’07, Lucas and his wife Meredith moved west where he now serves as the canon pastor of St. Michael’s Cathedral, Boise.  He is exited to start work with TEC Young Adult ministry, especially since it is fairly underrepresented in this part of the country.  “Boise is a thriving, exiting place to be right now.  St. Michael’s Cathedral is vibrant and constantly growing.  The young adult ministry opportunities at this place are just waiting to be explored!”

            Lucas’ interests include backpacking in the great Idaho wilderness, international travel, cuisine, liturgy and theology.  He is also an avid collector and listener of music of all types.  He can often be found scouring the local thrift stores to grow his collection of vinyl records…on his day off, that is.
