Faith. Community. Home.
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your hopes, your whole self. Rooted in grace, Luther House is where you’ll grow, belong, and be known.
Growing in Community
Meet the students who are shaping—and being shaped by—the life of Luther House.
Ellrya, a third year pre-vet biology student at Oregon State University, is an artist and scientist.
Growing up on the Oregon coast, Ellrya blended her love of science and art to paint public murals that painted a story of ecological restoration.
Carmen (she/her) loves soil—”It deeply connects to who I am, my faith, and I am very passionate about it,” she says – so it might not be surprising to learn that she studies soil science here at Oregon State University.
Alyssa (they/them) is a kind and curious soul who pours out care and excitement with every “Yippi!” that spills from their lips. Before attending Oregon State University, Alyssa planned to open a boba shop, which is why they decided to major in business administration.
