Rev. Emory Gillespie
Pastor
When Emory was four years old, she went to a Vacation Bible School at the nearby Lutheran Church, and she has been singing, laughing, exploring the fascinating world of faith ever since. Along the way she studied music and theology at Columbia Seminary and San Francisco Seminary. She met her husband one summer while working at Yellowstone National Park. She loves the Family of Christ community and invites you to give us a try. Contact her to chat.
Jessica Lesko
Administrative Assistant and Treasurer
Our administrative assistant, Jessica, completed her theological course work through University of Dubuque for a Certificate in Church leadership. She loves to provide pulpit supply for congregations throughout our Presbytery (in person or virtually). Jessica oversees the Community Garden at FOC, participates with Greeley Garage Sale Theatre, and provides musical support on occasion via piano, guitar and voice. Contact her at the church office.
Jen Ford
Musician
As musically gifted as any church musician you will ever encounter, Jen shares her pianist and organist talents with Family of Christ each Sunday. A native of Greeley, Jen came through the theater department across the street at Greeley West High School. Professionally she has accompanied high school choral programs and provided technical expertise to high school theater departments. As part of Family of Christ’s own Greeley Garage Sale Theatre, Jen has served as stage manager and a member of the production council.
