Katie Gilbert – First Church Birmingham

Katie Gilbert

Executive Pastor

She/Her

First Church is…

LOVE.

What is something people often get wrong about you?

That because I am so detail oriented and disciplined, I don’t have any fun.

What is your favorite meal?

Vegetarian fajitas with really good queso, salsa, and chips – homemade guacamole an added bonus

What book is on your nightstand?

Right now I am reading The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See but Sue Monk Kidd is one of my all-time favorite authors.

What is the last show you binged and loved?

Modern Love and Ted Lasso

Give us a snapshot of an ordinary moment in your life that brings you joy.

The time between dinner and bedtime which consists of a family walk, loud and silly splashes from two girls in the tub, reading books together, and singing our favorite songs (with dance parties upon occasion – disco ball included).

What is something you are deeply grateful for?

My family – both my family of origin as well as the family my husband and I are now cultivating together. Also travel – I love experiencing new places, cultures, foods, and peoples.
