pastor. writer. editor.
ALICIA MCCLINTIC
HELLO
Let me introduce myself:
First, you should know I love coffee and tacos, and that I read and think and write and preach.
But really, before all those things, I’m a Christ-follower, a daughter, a sister, a friend.
I serve as the lead pastor of Selah Church of the Nazarene in Selah, Washington and co-host the weekly podcast for A Plain Account, an online Wesleyan Lectionary commentary. I'm a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest, formerly a life-long Californian-- from my sweet hometown in Pismo Beach on the Central Coast, to San Diego where I attended Point Loma Nazarene University (BA Literature & Spanish 2011), and finally to the Bay Area where I settled after graduate school (San Jose State University, MA English & Comparative Literature 2014; and Fuller Theological Seminary, MA Theology & Culture 2019).
These days, I spend my free time hunting for the best breakfast burrito & cappuccino in my new city, keeping tabs on my favorite California sports teams, buying way too many books, and never writing quite as many words-per-day as I would like (alas).
I consider it a great honor and joy to spend time with communities sharing some thoughts about God and life. I would love to speak at your church, retreat, camp, living room, podcast, or wherever else your community gathers, so please contact me if you're interested in scheduling a speaking engagement.
I’m so glad you’ve come by my home on the web. I hope we’ll be friends.
