Micah Krey

icah Krey is a Lutheran Pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and currently serves as the Pastor of St. Martin’s, Annapolis, MD.

Micah received a BA in History from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2013. He also studied music and vocal performance with the A Capella Choir. He received an MDiv from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia in 2017 in the 3-year Co-Op track while simultaneously serving at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fairview Village, PA. Micah was first called as the Associate Pastor of Prince of Peace in Rosedale, MD where he served for 2 years. He was then called to be the Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Cockeysville, MD where he served for 5.5 years. During the last couple of years at Faith, he also served half-time as the Assistant to the Bishop for Generosity in the Delaware-Maryland Synod. His work with our Synod focus on stewarding congregational Mission Support and the Annual Synod Ministry Fund, as well as walking alongside congregations to develop stewardship and generosity plans.

Micah is a recovering alcoholic who started his path of recovery in November 2014. His recovery was only possible because of his family, friends, and the church. It was this community that walked with him in the early days of his sobriety and helped him to stay safe and always remember that he is loved. Micah has since realized that his call to ministry and his recovery are deeply interwoven and that his experience of death and resurrection are a story that he can share to help others in their recovery and to help others see the love of God in their lives.

Micah is currently enrolled in the STM program at United Lutheran Seminary. He is focusing on Biblical Studies and his commentary takes a narrative and historical approach around the Gospel author’s intention and audience. He is completing his coursework this Fall and will begin writing his thesis in the Spring.

Micah regularly writes about his life in recovery from alcoholism and also posts a weekly preaching commentary on the lectionary gospel text.

Micah is married to the amazing Pastor Sarah Garrett Krey who is the Assistant to the Bishop for Mobility and Candidacy in the Metro DC Synod. Micah knows that he would not be able to do his ministry without her love and support. Micah is so grateful for her incredible insight and suggestions and even more grateful that she always pushes him to move forward for the good of God’s people and God’s Kin-dom. They have a wonderful dog named Henri Nouwen Garrett Krey who is incredibly loved and eternally spoiled.

Micah loves music, baseball (the Phillies), football (The Eagles), basketball (The 76ers and Villanova), and table-top games (D&D).
