We are thrilled to introduce you to Marin Miller, our new Director of Children & Family Ministries (DCFM)! We have found a stellar candidate for this part-time position. Her resume, interviews, references, and sample videos have been confirmation for us that God provided just the right person “for such a time as this”!
Here are her own words of introduction from her cover letter:
“What a wonderful ministry you all have going at Westwood Presbyterian Church, and now I hear there is an opening in the Children & Family Ministries department. I am pleased and eager to introduce myself: Marin Miller, incoming first-year MDiv student at Claremont School of Theology and formerly the Director of Children and Youth at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Rolling Hills Estates, CA where I served from 2017-2022. My husband and I moved away during the pandemic, pregnant with our first (and only) child, seeking a bubble of doting grandmothers in Nashville, TN. Now, we are moving back to L.A. as I begin graduate school, my husband continues his film career, and our daughter races towards 4!“
It is a providential blessing that Claremont School of Theology recently moved to its new location at Westwood United Methodist Church down the street on Wilshire Blvd., and that Marin has chosen to pursue her three-year Masters of Divinity degree there. Because Marin and her family are in the midst of moving back to the L.A. area, we are holding her start-date lightly, and will keep you posted. A huge thanks to Brooke Larson for holding down the fort as our Interim DCFM and chair of our Children & Family Ministries Committee!
We look forward to welcoming Marin Miller, Tyler Evans, and daughter Tegan Miller-Evans to our WPC family. On behalf of our search committee – Peter Helm, Dale Larson, and Callie Kramer - thank you all for your prayers!
