God has wired people with incredible gifts, and many of them are willing and able to serve in a big way right now. This church is filled with amazing talent. God is reminding me that the body is not one member, but many in Christ. Lately, I’ve been spending my time gathering all the co-chairs for the seven committees of the transition team. This season of transition is about much more than finding the right person to lead-it is about fulfilling God’s mission for CPC. I’m excited now to see the unfolding of God’s plan for CPC. God has blessed this church mightily over the last sixty years with incredible resources, including two strong, faithful senior pastors, amazing lay leaders, and a congregation committed to serving Jesus locally and all over the world. What excites you about the future of CPC? The elders most recently asked me to chair the Transition Team. I enjoy interacting with staff, praying for them, and building them up in any way I can. This is my second year, and I’m on the Personnel Committee. I’m also using my gifts to coach and mentor young women. As I was leaving TreeHouse in 2016, I really felt God prompting me to work with other nonprofits to help them develop their strategy and the funds they need to do their mission, so I’ve been consulting. It was a blessing to use the skills I had honed over the years to lead, develop, and empower my staff to live out their passions. In 2006 I was lucky enough to change careers and find a new place to lead-TreeHouse. This enabled me to live out my passion to help other people develop their own God-given skills and talents. In my career in the financial services industry, I strategically and collaboratively led both divisions and companies. How do you feel God has enabled you to use your passions and gifts? I’m so grateful that Jesus is the center of my life. That was about the same time we came to CPC, and we found such rich teaching here. I just felt so convicted and I began the journey of turning my life toward Jesus. A turning point for me was when I started BSF and my first study was on Romans. We got very plugged in, but our faith was mostly service-based and still lacked a personal relationship with Christ. Then when we had our first child, like many people, we went back to church. I went through my early adulthood drifting a little bit. ![]() I thought about Jesus, but I didn’t know I should seek a relationship with Him. Church was our second home, but we actually knew the hymnals better than we knew the Bible. I grew up in a family that definitely believed in God, but I felt we went to church mostly because my mom was the church organist. Tell us a little bit about your faith journey. ![]()
