About Elizabeth

Rev. Elizabeth Kluender is an ordained Elder in the Global Methodist Church and currently serves as pastor of Trinity Global Methodist Church in Palatka, Florida. She holds a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Belhaven University and a Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary.

With more than ten years of ministry experience, her work has included pastoral leadership, discipleship formation, campus ministry, preaching, teaching, and congregational care. She has served churches in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Florida.

She is the author of Getting Started with Inductive Bible Study and writes on theology, Christian formation, ethics, and the Church’s witness in contemporary culture. She is passionate about helping the Church communicate historic Christian doctrine with intellectual depth, pastoral warmth, and cultural clarity. Her research interests include Wesleyan theology, theological anthropology, Christian ethics, moral formation, public theology, and the relationship between historic Christian doctrine and the moral language of the modern West.

Elizabeth’s own journey has been marked by God’s persistent faithfulness. Having grown up in poverty, become an orphan as a young adult, and navigated dyslexia and ADHD without a traditional family support system, she has experienced theological education and pastoral ministry as gifts of grace entrusted to her for the service of the Church.
