Shari Monson, Minister of Missions and Operations

Shari has served on our staff since 2000, giving leadership to our vital Missions commitments. She is a recent graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary (Masters of Divinity with an emphasis in Cross Cultural Studies) and is under care of our Session as she asks the questions of ordination. Shari oversees our church partnerships with Agros Guatemala/Journey with a Village, Swaziland/New Life Homes, Musalaha/Sound & Sand Encounters, Christians Concerned for Burma, World Vision, our local prison ministries, and she serves on the Board of Directors of Medical Teams International. Nurturing the mission vision, engagement, and understanding of our congregation means that Shari provides strategic leadership with mission and denominational partners, church officers, pastors, and member leaders. It also means that she has a very colorful passport and a keen ability to navigate new situations. Contact Shari at 853.0239. Fax: 253.851.5842.
