Louise is grateful for being part of the First Church community for nearly 20 years and has been a member of staff since 2008. She enjoys imagining, implementing, and contributing to the various congregational care programs and events that nurture and support the members of this beloved community. When not involved in supporting the church’s vision “to grow in intimacy as the weird and wonderful body of Christ,” Louise can be found in the church office unraveling a database question, having tea with a community member, or practicing yoga on the Chancel. Louise’s relationships are central to her – her husband Jim, her two daughters Lily & Emily, her stepsons Ben & Julian and their families, her loving and extensive circle of relatives and friends, near and far, as well as her church family. Louise appreciates serving a community where “love is central to everything we do.”
