Pastor Brenda Barnes
Rev. Brenda Barnes loves Jesus Christ. Her pastorates include a time as a student pastor in Pittsburgh and Kiskiminetas Presbyteries. After her ordination in Kiski Presbytery, Rev. Barnes served as a Temporary Supply Pastor until she was called to serve as a Transitional Minister and a Congregation Coach for several churches in four (4) Presbyteries. Brenda’s educational background has included receiving her Master of Divinity, and her Doctorate of Ministry in the Reformed Focus, from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Rev. Barnes enjoys quilting, vintage movies and spending time with her family. She is married to Don (for 30+ years), and they live in Churchill. Her favorite Bible verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:24: “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it!” Relying on the full assurance of Jesus Christ, she strives to live a life worthy of the call to ordained ministry. It was Christ who called her; and Christ will fulfill His Kingdom! Amen!
