Our Director/Companion
Rev. Jennifer Orr
Calling is to be the embodiment of God’s love out in the world in everything she does. When asked about her call she describes herself in this way: “I am a relational, broken, faithful, trusting believer, and I have many gifts and talents that I know God will use to fulfill the mission of reconciling the world through transformation.”
One of those gifts is being a good listener and helping people hear and see how God is already working in their lives. She is able to walk alongside a person as they struggle to find the strength they have with God.
One of several passion is leading/designing pilgrimages. One place in particular she enjoys leading people to is Iona, Scotland.
