Pastor Denise:
With the background of being raised in
Spokane, WA as a Catholic and inspired by attending the United Methodist
Church beginning in 1982, she felt called into pastoral ministry. This
special calling, then, led her to Iliff School of Theology in Denver,
Colorado from 1991 to 1994. Her first pastorate in Deer Park, Washington
took her back in the area of her childhood home. After being appointed to
Battle Ground Community UMC in the summer of 1997, Pastor Denise has
maintained a calm, caring nature during the difficult years of moving from
the historic site a block off Main Street in downtown Battle Ground to the
current, highly visible site on 199th Street. Pastor Denise
helped dedicate the current building in 2002 and is now seeking spiritual
guidance and further education via workshops to help this church community
grow to be effective disciples of Christ. In this way, she redesigns and
enhances her own gifts according to the needs of the people she lovingly
nurtures into faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
