Pastor Keith Anderson

The Reverend Keith Anderson is the pastor of Upper Dublin Lutheran Church (ELCA) near Philadelphia, where he has led the congregation through a season of deep transformation marked by renewed generosity, growing participation, expanded community engagement, and a strong foundation for long-term faith and ministry.

Keith is the author of The Digital Cathedral: Networked Ministry in a Wireless World (Morehouse, 2015) and co-author, with Elizabeth Drescher, of Click2Save Reboot: The Digital Ministry Bible (Church Publishing, 2018).

While his earlier work explored digital culture and ministry, his current writing and leadership focus on guiding faith communities through change, strengthening shared life and purpose, and helping communities move faithfully and decisively while remaining rooted in their deepest values.

A frequent speaker and writer, Keith has worked with congregations, denominational leaders, seminaries, and nonprofit organizations on leading through disruption, cultivating resilient communities, and reimagining the future of the church.

He previously served as pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Woburn, Massachusetts (2003–2012).

He is married to Jennifer, also a graduate of Harvard Divinity School. They have four children and two golden retrievers, Charlie and Saoirse.
