Our Staff

Shelia joined our staff in December 2023. A bio and photo are coming soon!

"I believe that there is no more powerful story than the one that the Church has been given to tell. We tell the story of a God who loved us enough to step into our broken and hurting world, experience the depth of human suffering, and take our sin on himself. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus makes us children of God, and recipients of God's grace. I'm thrilled to be a part of what God is doing though Grace & Glory.  It is my sincere hope that you will join us for worship soon as we celebrate the love of God that goes beyond our understanding and sends us out in service to the world." 

-Rev. Karleen Jung
