Rector

Jeanne loves Jesus, the Gospel of Luke, and the Book of Jonah. She has been a priest since 2019 and active in the Episcopal Church in Oregon for the past 10. She graduated with an MDiv fro the Church Divinity School in the Pacific in 2019, an achievement only possible because of the love and support of her husband, their 3 kids, and 2 dogs. She has a BA in history from Rice University and a MA in Japanese studies from the University of Washington, and worked in Japan after college. Prior to becoming a priest she worked in local government, in the local sportswear industry, and was a full-time stay-at-home parent. She once encountered God when lost in a snowstorm on the grounds of a monastery. She is deeply grateful to God and the people of St. John the Evangelist that she was called to be their rector.
