Staff Highlight
Each week we want to highlight our pastoral staff and the good work they are doing. This week is our Women’s Ministry and Shepherding Staff Deacon, Jennifer Holloway.
Jennifer has been a vital part of our staff team at Grace since 2015. She first served on the administrative/support team, and last year we were thrilled when she joined our pastoral staff team.
Jennifer has been doing amazing work with our women’s ministry, helping coordinate our women’s Bible studies and growing them as intentional discipleship communities. These women’s small groups have continued to meet and grow during this tough COVID season.
Jennifer has also been hard at work with our WCF Team to change our Wednesday Community Fellowship meals into a to-go ministry. We have been able to give out over 150 meals a week during a very tough COVID season & working with a limited volunteer crew.
Most recently, Jennifer has spearheaded the backyard church network for our church, preparing us to have over 12 worship sites in our city for people to gather in smaller groups for in-person worship. We are so thankful for this!
Lastly, Jennifer joined Wendell in training with Bill Goans this spring. She has been hard at work to develop her preaching skills, while preparing and delivering practice sermons to get feedback and to grow.
Let’s praise God for all He is doing through Jennifer!
