Rachel Penmore, Guest Preacher
Sunday, June 26th
Rachel Penmore is from Jacksonville, Florida but loves calling Tennessee home! She grew up in the Presbyterian Church, and spent every summer working at camp and conference centers. She received her B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from Queens University in Charlotte, NC and her M.Div from San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, CA.
Rachel has served in many different ministry contexts including Yellowstone National Park, Travis Air Force Base, hospital chaplaincy, and traditional parish ministry.
She is married to John, an elementary school teacher and a member at 2nd, and they have a beautiful daughter, Faye. Rachel and her family love any chance to be out in God’s creation, hiking, climbing, kayaking and throwing the Frisbee for their dog, Frank.
Rachel feels called to live her life welcoming others into this messy beautiful journey of faith. She hopes to create spaces where we can explore how God is moving in this world, and the challenging, hopeful, and grace filled ways we are called to be Christ’s body in the world.
