Amanda Olson de Castillo
Pastor
I have served as Pastor of Creator Lutheran Church since November 2019. Originally I am from Minnesota, and am a St. Olaf College graduate where I studied chemistry and math before a semester in the Middle East where I first felt called to be a pastor. After graduating from Luther Seminary, I spent just shy of 10 years as a missionary pastor in Guatemala before returning to the States. My husband, Horacio, and I are parents to Abigail and Joaquin. Together we enjoy karate, exploring the Pacific Northwest, our dog, and our home in Buckley, WA.

Debbie Eikland
Nursery Attendant
I have happily been a nursery attendant at Creator Lutheran Church since June of 2016. My background includes 10 years of teaching and directing a traditional pre-school in California, as well as providing care to my fabulous grandchildren who have been in California, Kentucky, Georgia, Colorado, and Washington. I have six grown and wonderful children: Molly, Mike, Mindy, Melissa, Miranda, and Matthew, and am proud to be “Nana” to 17 grandchildren! Besides spending time with my family, I enjoy reading, solving word games, finding treasures at the thrift store, cooking, collected recipes, putting together family cookbooks, and taking walks through God’s beautiful world!

I have also been blessed with 15 grandkids aged 5 months to 21 years old. I have always loved working with children, starting with a position as assistant teacher in a Day Care Center. I also drive a school bus for the district’s children needing special care.

Marion Gil
Communications Coordinator
Originally from California, I earned my degree in Journalism from California State University San Bernardino. I enjoy reading, video games, writing, being outdoors, and anything pertaining to horror. I have a dry sense of humor. I’m very easy to get along with, all the more so if you bring me sweets.
