Colleen is happy to be serving the church for many years in various capacities. Colleen is the Faith Formation Coordinator, leading children and youth ministry as well as special events. Inspired to help others discover more of God’s love and the way of Jesus, she has a passion to get the youth away from the  church building.  Convinced spiritual  formation happens with many unique encounters. Things like service projects, hikes, exploring the history of Cleveland bridges in the flats and even a tour of community murals – each a tool to experience faith in a new way.

As part of worship you may find art installations designed to share a visual expression of God’s story. Beyond Sunday morning classes and youth fellowship she plays a role in community ministry working to grow church mission responding to the call to be the hands, feet of Christ in the world.

In 2021 Colleen stepped into the role of Office Admin, she now splits her time doing both. Managing the church office is an extension of ministry offering administration and communication support to church missions, committees as well as the congregation.

Beyond life at the church, Colleen’s creative side shines with work as a costume designer for local theaters.  Designing mainly for Heights Youth Theatre she has also done exciting work with Fine Arts Association, Dobama Theatre and Playhouse Square.

Colleen lives in South Euclid with her husband Rich who works as an Executive Chef (yes, he cooks yummy dinners at home!)  They have two adult children, Austin and Joe and savor the time they find together over long weekends, hiking vacations or holidays.
