Welcome!  I’d like to introduce myself.  I’m a native of Oklahoma, having graduated  from Crescent High School in 1982.  I loved the experience of small-town living, and it was in Crescent that I “discovered” the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  I’m proud to be a part of this denomination that celebrates diversity and encourages each person to discover their own life-long relationship with Jesus Christ.  I have been blessed by many faithful people in the Disciples tradition! 

I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Vanderbilt University in Human and Organizational Development, and went on to complete my seminary training at Vanderbilt as well.  I received a Masters of Divinity in 1989 and was ordained at Vine Street Christian Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Since my ordination I have served congregations in Tennessee and Oklahoma.  I have been blessed through service in a variety of leadership areas including Children’s and Youth Ministries, Senior Adult Ministries, hospital chaplaincy, and preaching and teaching roles.  Here at Village Christian Church I enjoy preaching, leading worship, equipping other leaders in the church, and pastoral care.  

I also commit time and energy to my family who are a source of great joy for me.  I am married to Jack O’Donnell, and together we are parenting two teenagers---Anna, 16 and Sam, 13.  As a family we enjoy “hanging out”, sharing family meals, and traveling together any time we get the opportunity!

God has blessed me by calling me to serve the good people of Village Christian Church.  Together we are a on a journey to discover God’s lead in our life in the present and the future.  We believe God has a mission for us in the world, and we invite you to journey with us and to share the joy of Christian community. 

If I can be of assistance, don’t hesitate to call. 

May God enrich your life with strength and joy,

Amy
