Priesthood Office: Evangelist
Leadership Position: Member of the church for over 50 years; 6th generation Favorite Scripture: "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want." - Psalms 23 Background: I was very sick 5 years ago and in the hospital for 3 weeks. I have been on chemotherapy since that time. I was sent a prayer cloth while I was in the hospital. As I opened the envelope, I heard these words loud and clear, “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want”. I have loved the 23rd Psalms since then. |

Leadership Positions: Steward, Trans Community Advocate, & LDS Seekers Representative
Member of the church since 2019, transferred from the LDS church Favorite Scripture: “Come and join me,” Jesus replied. So Peter stepped out onto the water and began to walk toward Jesus. But when he realized how high the waves were, he became frightened and started to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he cried out. Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and lifted him up and said, “What little faith you have! Why would you let doubt win?” - Matthew 14: 29-31 |

Leadership Position: Secretary
Member of the church since 2022 Favorite Scripture: “Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me” - Doctrine & Covenants 19: 23 Background: I was a member of a Community Bible Church years ago, they were very traditional/fundamentalist, and it just wasn't a healthy fit for me. I left said church years ago, and ventured into witchcraft/Wicca/Paganism for about 7 years. I am now a member of Community of Christ, more specifically a member of Portsmouth Welcoming Community. I have finally found my home church, where I am not only accepted but affirmed in my sexuality. I am so thankful to have found PWC. |
