Meet Our Team

I am an Ohio country bumpkin who decided to go off and meet the world, and am still on that amazing adventure! I graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism degree and spent 30 years as a writer, photographer, and editor before surrendering to God's constant call to ordained ministry.

​

God has blessed me with the opportunity to live and work among people of many different cultures, both here in the US and abroad. Learning from people whose life experiences differ vastly from our own expands our understanding not only of the world, but of God and our own faith. The more I learn, the more I want to know, and the deeper desire to share that learning with others. I received my MDiv from the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin in 2013 and became a Board Certified Chaplain, serving in trauma hospitals and later hospice before becoming a full-time pastor.

​

My husband, Bob Barrall, and I are enjoying this wild ride with God as we get to meet fascinating people who share love for All God's People, and join in the quest to spread that love throughout the world.
