Pastor
Liz was called as senior pastor in January 2020. She is a graduate of University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and Chicago Theological Seminary, and received her Secondary Teaching Certificate at Elmhurst University, home to the best Jazz Festival every February. Liz previously served as Associate Pastor for Children, Youth and Families at St. Paul's and Youth Minister at St. John's UCC in Lyons, Illinois, her home church since age 3. In her first career, Liz taught Junior High Language Arts in Cicero, Illinois. Liz and her spouse Tommy live in Elgin. Travel, the whimsy of pop-up books, folk art, live music, and time around kitchen tables with friends and family are some of her joys and favorite things.
