A warm welcome to our Interim Pastor….

CELC welcomes Pastor Laura.  She grew up in Northeast Ohio. She has many hobbies such as plants, miniatures, and crafts. She enjoys sitting on her front porch or being outdoors with her two dogs Toby and Frankie.

This is Pastor Laura's 4th interim and she takes what she learns into each experience, also remembering that each church is unique. She is excited to get to know everyone at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. She prefers to go by Pastor Laura, or simply Pastor. Please be patient and know she is working hard to learn everyone’s name.
