Micah Krey is a Lutheran pastor, preacher, and writer whose weekly lectionary commentary explores the narrative and historical context of the Gospel text. His work pays particular attention to how each passage functions within the larger story of a Gospel, the concerns of its first community, and the possibilities it offers those preparing to preach today.
Together with his spouse, Pastor Sarah Garrett Krey, Micah co-founded Preaching the Paradox: Festival of Lutheran Proclamation, an annual gathering created to renew and equip preachers through worship, theological reflection, practical workshops, and fellowship.
Micah serves as Senior Pastor of St. Martin’s Lutheran Church in Annapolis, Maryland, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). He is also pursuing a Master of Sacred Theology (STM) at United Lutheran Seminary, with a concentration in Biblical Studies. He received his Master of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia in 2017 and his Bachelor of Arts in History from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2013.
Micah’s call to ministry is deeply connected to his recovery from alcoholism, which began in November 2014. His family, friends, and the church surrounded him during the earliest days of his sobriety, helping him remain safe and reminding him that he was, and is, deeply loved. Through recovery, Micah has experienced the Christian story of death and resurrection in profoundly personal ways. He shares that story in the hope that others might find companionship in recovery and recognize the love of God at work in their own lives.
Micah is married to Pastor Sarah Garrett Krey, pastor of Gloria Dei! Lutheran Church in Arnold, Maryland. He is deeply grateful for her love, wisdom, partnership, and commitment to the flourishing of God’s people and God’s kin-dom.
Beyond preaching and writing, Micah enjoys music, tabletop games (especially Dungeons & Dragons), and Philadelphia sports. He faithfully follows the Phillies, Eagles, 76ers, and Flyers.
