I am a Church Doctor Associate whose passions are cultivating spiritual formation in pastoral leaders, discipling persons into deeper relationship and mission with Jesus Christ, and assisting congregations in discovery that God has planted them to be the hope of the world.
I serve as lead pastor of Olivet Lutheran Church of Sylvania, Ohio, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
I will blog from time to time on spiritual health, congregational life, pastoral leadership, and what I see God doing.
I have been married to my husband Craig for twenty years; between us we have a daughter, two sons, a grandson and granddaughter. We live in Sylvania, Ohio.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time aboard our 1969 mahogany Chris Craft Cruiser (aptly named Re-treat), reading, knitting, golf, and Taekwon-Do, a Korean martial art in which I have earned my first degree black belt.
