Martha Ligas (she/her) serves as the Pastoral Minister at the Community of St. Peter in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Communications Coordinator at FutureChurch. Both spaces give her room to ride the coattails of the Spirit by reimagining what it means to create faith communities of belonging.    

Martha has traversed the Jesuit landscape in her theological education, completing undergraduate studies at Loyola University Chicago, graduating from Boston College with a MA in Theology and Ministry, and earning a certification in Spiritual Direction through the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Ministry from Fordham University.  

Martha lives in Cleveland, OH with her partner and their pets. When she isn’t daydreaming about a more inclusive church, she’s either in a bookstore or hard at work being an Auntie.
