Rev. Karen Lampe, Founding Pastor
TESTIMONIALS:
"Rev. Karen Lampe’s grasp on both the theological and formational significance of Congregational Care and the practical tools and strategies needed to provide good care are so helpful! She connects quickly and deeply with workshop participants so that they walk away not only equipped but feeling empowered to provide this ministry." --- Rev. Tracey Beadle, Senior Pastor, Westlake UMC
"In her role overseeing the care of 18,000 parishioners at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, Karen Lampe has developed what many consider to be the best congregational care practices in the United States... and will dramatically improve the quality of pastoral care while engaging laity in ways that will enrich and bless them and those they care for." -- Rev. Adam Hamilton, Senior Pastor, Resurrection UMC
"Thanks for putting together such an accessible, relevant, professional and Spirit-led curriculum for assisting churches in ministering to our congregants. I knew at the outset of this journey that I couldn't and didn't want to be a "Lone Ranger" pastor doing this all by myself, so this pastor/lay team approach is perfect." --Roger Allen, West Valley Church of the Nazarene, Yakima, Washington
