Glenview welcomes Natalie Jahn, Leader for Christian Education and Outreach
My name is Natalie Jahn, and since Tuesday I’m working as Christian Education and Outreach Leader with Glenview Presbyterian Church.
As I haven’t met most of you yet, let me briefly introduce myself.
I’m 27 years old, and was born and raised in the southwest of Germany. Since my confirmation, I was actively involved in the congregational life of several churches, and later on in social work through volunteer work and internships. Through that work, I discovered how much I love working with people, listening and reflecting together upon the relation of life and theology. I studied Protestant Theology in Heidelberg, Germany and Beirut, Lebanon and finished my studies with a Master of Theology in 2018. As I continue to be interested in academic studies, I’m still connected to the University of Heidelberg through my PhD in Practical Theology.
In 2018, I came to Toronto to join my husband who is an ordained Presbyterian minister, and soon afterwards, I started working with Leaside United Church as Interim Youth and Young Families Leader.
If I’m not busy with church work or my PhD, you might find me doing sports, reading or spending time with friends.
I’m very much looking forward to getting to know you and the many programs at Glenview Presbyterian Church. Christian education and outreach have always been fields of interests of mine, and I have been actively involved in both areas in Germany, Lebanon and Canada. I’m excited to continue learning and to explore creative ways to live and share God’s love together at Glenview and beyond.
You can reach me through my email address: educationoutreach@glenviewchurch.ca.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and getting to know you in the following weeks and months!
Warm regards,
Natalie
