Meet the Pastor
Welcome, Friends!
I have had the joy of serving at Wesley since August 2023, and I have loved getting to know this warm and hospitable group of people as we seek to draw nearer to God. I began my first pastoral role in August 2023 at Wesley UMC, and in January 2024, I also began serving Pretty Lake Trinity UMC. It has been a privilege to embark on this journey of ministry alongside these congregations!
Aside from leading worship services, you may find me reading to our childcare kids, leading chapel with our preschoolers, or leading monthly worship at Miller’s Merry Manor. I am passionate about social justice, hospitality, community outreach, and discipleship, and I'm grateful for the ways that being a pastor has enabled to live into those passions every day.
Born in Valparaiso, IN, I have loved to put down roots in Indiana again! I grew up involved in the church and first sensed a call to ministry when I was 16 years old. I attended Lee University in Cleveland, TN, graduating in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Ministry. My next phase was at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, KY, where I graduated with my Master of Divinity in December 2023.
When I'm not at the church, I love cooking, thrifting, finding somewhere pretty to be in nature, playing with my dog Henry, and looking for the best cup of coffee. I'm deeply grateful to be a part of the Culver and Plymouth communities, and am excited to be a part of the transformative work God is doing in our community!
I pray that you would find a sense of warmth and belonging among our congregation and that you would be richly blessed by the love and grace of God. You can reach me in the church office at 574-842-2900 or [email protected].
