Email JennyWhere are you from?
The great city of Madison, WI…. Numerous lakes, hiking and biking paths, a great farmers’ market, beautiful summers, snow-filled winters, unlimited cheese, college town atmosphere…What more could a girl ask for??
What’s your passion in life?
At The Gathering I am passionate about creating opportunities for people to deepen their faith in God while building meaningful relationship with others. I also have a heart for supporting people with developmental disabilities and their families, and have done so for many years in formal and informal settings. Recently I have also become quite excited about participating in triathlons and would highly recommend a triathlon to anybody who is brave enough to try one!
Favorite thing about St. Louis?
The free outdoor concerts, movies, art fairs, etc. Only in the spring and fall though… Once it gets above 90 degrees I’m pretty much down for the count.
Favorite movie quote?
“I’d never named a boat before, but there was only one I could think of: Jenny, the most beautiful name in the wide world.” (From Forrest Gump)
Favorite thing about the Gathering?
The life of the church is never stagnate. There is always a new sermon series starting, a small group to be involved with, or an opportunity to give of my time and resources in new ways. I love that I am continually being challenged to grow deeper in my relationship with God and the other people around me.
What do you love about being on staff?
I love that everybody on staff is so passionate about their area of ministry. It’s not that they are just good at what they do; it’s that each person feels a genuine call to their specific ministry area, and they are using their gifts to follow that call to do really great work at the church. Being around the other staff makes me even more excited about what I am doing here.
