Staff Highlight
Pastor Marshall has known Lee Simmons for close to 20 years! She and Marshall served on InterVarsity Christian Fellowship staff together, and he was very excited to lead her to the GraceKids position at Grace back in 2012.
After serving part-time for her first 7 years at Grace, Lee has recently begun working full-time. She has added our Missional Communities to her pastoral role. We are really excited about the work Lee has done with our MC’s since January – she has established a coaching relationship with each MC Leader as well as regular calls for all of the leaders together to share ideas, prayer requests, and to celebrate things that God is doing. Our leaders have felt very supported.
When the pandemic hit, Lee moved very quickly to organize ten “Gathering Groups” which meet weekly via Zoom for Scripture study, encouragement, and prayer, and then coaching those new leaders. She has also assisted Jennifer Holloway in getting our backyard church initiative up and running. Lastly, Lee preached her first sermon this past May, and she is going to be preaching in rotation with Marshall and the other pastoral staff.
Thank God for the work He is going at Grace through Lee!
