Rev. Jennifer Zechlin

Christian Education, Church Council

Hi, I’m Jen!
Formally from the Inland Empire, I’m currently living in Southwest Mississippi.
As a former Religious Studies major my passions revolve around Christian education, interfaith dialogue, and servant ministry.
As a member of the Human race social justice and environmental restoration is as important to me as breathing and eating.
I enjoy writing an occasional poem, pushing around paint on canvases, and learning how to play the flute and trombone.
I am thrilled to have found United Church of the Valley and look forward to getting to know and building relationships with you all.

Sherian joined UCV about 5 years ago and has held various Council positions and for a time was the Church Admin Assistant.  For 2020 she returned to Church Council as Outreach & Ecumenical Chair and works directly with Congregational Life to help plan and coordinate events and outreach opportunities.  Her passion is creating community and is always interested in hearing what other members would like to see scheduled.
