Lori Archer Raible has served the congregation of Selwyn Avenue Presbyterian Church since 2008. She is a graduate of Wake Forest University where she was a member of the Cross-country and Track and Field teams. She earned her Masters of Divinity from Union Presbyterian Seminary of Charlotte, in 2006 and is currently pursuing her doctorate of ministry from Union Presbyterian Seminary with a focus on gender, authority, and congregational leadership. 

Until 2020, Lori was deeply involved with the leadership of NEXT Church as a strategy team member and co-chair.  As a conduit of relationships in Christ, she has been committed to the equipping and connecting of leaders within the PC(USA), especially the newly ordained; through collaborating in the planning of regional symposiums and national conferences for pastors within their first five years of ministry.

Lori is currently a member of the Board of Trustees at Union Presbyterian Seminary. In conjunction with her call to Selwyn, she also enjoys preaching, speaking and writing for various organizations and publications. This year Lori hopes to reclaim her favorite pastimes of running and porch sitting with friends and her husband, Rob, and their two children, Joe and Maeve.
