Here are some things that people who have worked with
Rev. Nancy have said about her:
“Nancy is an effective preacher and speaker… Nancy really becomes
aglow when she believes what she is doing. This trait is seen in
the pulpit… She is an excellent writer and storyteller.”
“Nancy relates to each person as a unique person with their own
strengths and weaknesses… She is sincere, straightforward, and authentic.”
“Nancy sees her role as pastor as one of being involved not only
with delivering the Sunday service, but also of actively being
involved in the life and nurturing of the church family… She has the
capacity to energize our church and its commitment to God.”
“Nancy challenges the congregation to relate God’s word and the
teachings of Jesus Christ to our personal lives and to today’s
world. She pushes us to reach out to those less fortunate by
emphasizing Missions in both financial support and through our
labor. She challenges us all to do God’s work and live the
teachings of Jesus Christ.”
