Pastor Jenn (she, her) was born in the Pacific Northwest and grew up among the evergreen trees and mountains of the Northern Cascades. Her early experiences of church were in the justice-seeking, progressive church community of Northshore United Church of Christ. While she felt the call to ministry early in life, Jenn took a more circuitous route. She received her bachelor’s degree in Human Services and Rehabilitation from Western Washington University and her master’s degree in public health from the University of Washington before attending Union Theological Seminary in New York City. She currently serves as pastor at Spirit of Peace United Church of Christ in Issaquah, WA. Jenn has worked as an anti-racist trainer, community organizer, chaplain in hospital and skilled nursing setting, social justice liaison, and associate for stewardship and congregational life. She first got to know the Church Council of Greater Seattle as a Justice Leadership Program Intern working on economic justice and workers rights. Jenn is thrilled to return to CCGS to support their unfolding mission and is grateful to be a part of their faith-based, community-organizing approach to the important justice issues of our day.
