Departments reporting to the vice president 

“Part of the work of fundraising is telling stories. I witness Jesus’ redemption of the world one person at a time and then have the privilege of sharing their story. The work we are doing is holy and significantly important for the kingdom and for people.

“This is a great and wonderful opportunity. I am so glad to be at SPU during this time. 西雅图 Pacific is a crucial and important part of the fabric of the Christian community and the broader city.”
