Trevecca Okholm has served the church as children and family pastor in the Presbyterian church (PCUSA) and the Anglican tradition (ACNA/C4SO) for over forty years. More recently, she spent nearly a decade teaching practical theology at Azusa Pacific University in Southern California. Trevecca’s passion for ministry and teaching has always focused on the role of parents – and more recently, grandparents – in the faith formation of children; as well as how the church might more effectively connect generations in living the faith together. Although retired from full time work in the church and the academy, Trevecca continues to serve the church as a family ministry coach and consultant, speaker for parent groups and retreats, and as a trainer/facilitator for Worship & Wonder models of faith formation.
Trevecca has authored Kingdom Family: Re-Envisioning God’s Plan for Marriage and Family (Cascade, 2012) and The Grandparenting Effect: Bridging Generations One Story at a Time (Cascade, 2020) and along with Robin Turner, has co-edited the newly released 2021 Children’s Spirituality Summit Book, Children’s Ministry and the Spiritual Child: Practical Formation-Focused Ministry (Abilene Christian University Press, 2023). Other publications include various articles and book chapters addressing ministry with children and families. Trevecca holds an MA in educational ministry from Wheaton Graduate School and is a Certified Christian Educator, PCUSA. She has been married to her partner in ministry, Dennis, for fifty years and counting. They have two children, one son-in-law and three grandchildren.
