Jen Keifer

The Rev. Jen Keifer is a priest at Trinity North Shore and the director of the North Shore Pollinator Corridor. Her ministry is grounded in the conviction that our healing runs in three directions at once: toward God, toward one another, and toward creation itself, each intertwined with the others.

Drawing on her family’s lived experience with trauma and mental health, as well as her experience as a transracially adoptive parent, Mother Jen brings the church into healing work that is relational, embodied, and attentive to power, dignity, and belonging. She carries this into preaching, formation, and hands-on gardening with her parishioners and community, trusting that Christ’s resurrection restores our relationships. This reconciling work, she believes, is slow and rooted in place.
