Pastors & Staff

Regular office hours:
M-F 9am-5pm

My faith story: Growing up in a Christ-friendly home got me started right; in high school I was strongly influenced by a good Campus Life Club (a ministry of Youth for Christ); by college I learned that only partnership with the Holy Spirit could result in my being able to live the Christian life successfully. I married a man who is unswervingly focused on following God, and have been privileged to work in several great churches.

What brought me to UCUMC: When we moved to Florida in 2000, God provided a job that fit my abilities but not my passions. That changed in 2003 when I was invited to join the staff of UCUMC.

What I like most about my ministry here: The variety. I get to be involved in something new all the time.

What's my greatest challenge: Managing the variety!!

What's in your iPod: Everything from classical to jazz to Lifehouse and Coldplay.

What do I like most to do on my day off: I'm a movie fan; I love to do crossword puzzles and read; I don't love it, but I run.

Three words I'd use to describe yourself: musical, lost-in-thought, steady

Family info: Husband, Daryl; daughter Dawn (married to Blair Salmons); son Andrew (married to Emily; parents of our granddaughter, Ailey); daughter Emily (married to Jesse Bachman)
