Rev. Liz Mosbo VerHage

Senior Pastor

Rev. Liz has been involved in intersectional & multiethnic ministry for 20+ yrs in the church, academia, community orgs, and denominational leadership. She loves to build people and systems, reimagine how we do church, and invite people into healthy, authentic, justice-centered identity. She’s also a leadership coach, ministry consultant, organizer, speaker, author, and adjunct professor, with graduate degrees in Theology and Community Development from North Park Theological Seminary, and a PhD in Theology & Ethics from Garrett-Northwestern. 

Where do you live and with who? I live on the northside in Budlong Woods with my husband Peter, our two kids, and Theo the goldendoodle. 

Favorite drink: A skinny vanilla latte (or a Cuban Old Fashioned.)

Favorite ways to recharge: Singing late at night on a drive with the windows rolled down, gardening, painting, and quality time with my people.

What are you enjoying lately about your role at LaSalle: Working with a fantastic and fun-loving staff, our congregation’s commitment to justice and creativity, and the way the sun hits the windows in the Sanctuary on a bright, beautiful morning.
