Leadership

Jesus’ people find community in the church, and that is certainly true of our multigenerational community here at 1st Presbyterian Church.  I’ve been the Senior Pastor of this congregation for over 9 years, shepherding the church through many seasons of life together and seeing the congregation bear witness to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the best and worst of times.  As I serve this congregation, I seek to help all of us recognize the ways in which the story of our lives is a part of the larger story of redemption being written in history by our faithful and loving Heavenly Father.

I grew up attending church at First Pres, starting when I was 3 years old.  In middle school youth group, I met the boy who would one day be my husband!  We were married in 2002 and are now raising our 3 kiddos in Rochelle, attending First Pres.

I am excited to be leading the Children's Ministry programs and showing kids the love of Jesus on a weekly basis!  

In May of 2019, I started in the position of office coordinator for the church and I love being a part of the "behind the scenes" on a daily basis!
