Saint Paul's

Hi, my name is Nancy. I am the new senior pastor here at Saint Paul’s in Papillion. Thanks for taking a few minutes to read my bio. I am 52 years old and have lived in almost every corner of the continental United States (air force brat growing up).  I have one husband and one daughter, one of whom has been with me for almost 30 years and the other for almost 23 years. I have a passion for preaching and worship and for helping others connect with God. My faith background is somewhat eclectic; I grew up an “occasional” Southern Baptist, attended Bible Churches and interdenominational churches in college, and finally, finally, found my heart’s home in the United Methodist Church. I love to read mysteries and am in the writing portion of a Doctor of Ministry thesis in teaching preaching. I am daily overwhelmed with the immensity of God’s love for us and live in permanent awe that God took on human flesh to live among us and show us how to live. I try to live a life sensitive to the nudges (and sometimes shoves) of God’s Spirit. I would love to hear from you and for us to engage in spiritual conversation together. Blessings, Nancy T
