Lead Pastor
Pastor Luke Allison
Hi my name is Luke Allison and I’m the lead pastor at Saint Paul Lutheran Church (the Red Roof Church). My wife Priscilla and I recently moved here from Minnesota with our  daughter Aya and we are overjoyed to be a part of this community.  I am passionate about lots of things, but the primary calling that wakes me up in the morning is seeing Christians of all ages stepping into the amazing promises that belong to them in Jesus Christ. When the Holy Spirit gets ahold of everyday ordinary people, the Church becomes what it was meant to be in the first place. Hearts are healed, lives are turned around, darkness is forced to flee, and our community begins to change for the better. At St Paul we long to be a place where this hope and love of Jesus Christ would be tangible for everybody who comes through our doors. We believe that the message about Jesus, the Good News, is the surest foundation to build our lives on. This message never runs out of power to save, transform, and lead us into a new life and new future. We would love to see you on a Sunday morning!

In her spare time, Sherry loves to spend time with her family. Her favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

CDS Director
Marin Barton
​Marin Barton has been with the Day School since 2018 and Director since 2022. Throughout her professional career she has always worked children and families but finds the Day School most fun and rewarding because she can share God’s word and love with the youngest learners! Marin grew up in Minnesota and traveled West to Washington State where she attended the University of Puget Sound for her undergraduate studies and later Seattle University for her Masters of Public Administration. She and her husband Erik have moved around quite a bit, Aberdeen Scotland being a highlight, but have been fortunate to call the hill country home since 2014. Marin has two children, Elenora and Kendrik and in her free time she enjoys spending time cheering them on at their sporting events, traveling and getting outside to ski, hike or fish!
