About Katerina

Katerina Gea, Adjunct Instructor, is the pastor of Pasadena Mennonite Church on Tongva land in the Los Angeles basin. She is an organizer of white settler descent who co-founded the Repair Network, a model for Christian faith communities and institutions to practice reparative justice and solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. She has been shaped by Indigenous Peoples’ cosmologies and their struggles for sovereignty and land rights through her work with the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery. Katerina first traveled on the Trail of Death Pilgrimage as a student at AMBS, and graduated in 2016 with an M.Div. in Theology and Peace Studies, going on to plant “Wild Church, Fresno” and to coordinate healing gardens in California State Prisons as part of the Insight Garden Program.
