Our Staff

Scott Deasy
Deacon
pronouns: he/him/his
Scott moved to Flagstaff in 1998 with his wife Kathy, her father, and their three sons. He has been an Episcopal Deacon for nearly 9 years, and was assigned by Bishop Reddall to serve with LCM|Canterbury beginning in January of 2021.
In the Episcopal Church, deacons are charged with bringing the church to the world and the world to the church, and the focus of Scott's diaconal life has been on the social gospel and advocacy. This has involved work here in Flagstaff such as serving on several community and philanthropy boards including being a member of the Flagstaff Police Department’s Community Liaison Council, Northern Arizona Interfaith Council, and the Arizona Interfaith Network. He has also served on our Episcopal Board for several years.
Along with Scott's work at LCM|Canterbury, he serves in a number of roles within the diocese. These include being a member of the faculty of the Deacon Formation Academy, co-teaching classes on Advocacy and Anti-Racism, and serving on the Commission on Ministry, the Anti-Racism Committee, and the Standing Committee. Scott is very excited to join us at LCM|Canterbury.

Allie Papke-Larson
Program Coordinator
pronouns: she/her/hers
Allie grew up in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America in the North Woods of Minnesota. She attended Augsburg University in Minneapolis, studying History and Religion. While at Augsburg she spent her summers working at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp in Montana, creating a passion for nurturing spiritual enrichment in youth and embedding a love of hiking. She went on to spend two years living and working at Holden Village, a small Lutheran community in the North Cascades of Washington State. There, she grew a deep love for community and compost. From the Fall of 2018 to the spring of 2021, she took the call of Youth Director at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran in Flagstaff, AZ. In the Fall of 2019 she became the Program Coordinator for LCM|Canterbury.
She is excited to be a part of the LCM|Canterbury community, and is very much honored to be working with the student and staff body.
Our Board
LCM|Canterbury is the emerging identity of Canterbury Episcopal Campus Ministry in Flagstaff and NAU Lutheran Campus Ministry. Beginning in 2017, these two ministries began a life together as LCM|Canterbury, creating a shared Lutheran and Episcopal Campus Ministry presence in Flagstaff.
Beginning in 2022 our ministry is governed by one covenanted board, along with the leadership and guidance of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona and the Grand Canyon Synod of the ELCA.
