Join us for worship with rev. teunis, our new settled senior minister – 10:30 a.m.
Sunday, June 9, Rev. Niels Teunis will lead our worship for the first time as our Settled Senior Minister. We hope you will be able to attend worship on this special Sunday to welcome Revs. Niels and Angela to our Hillcrest Family. A short reception will follow in Fellowship Hall. Rev. Niels received his Master of Divinity from the Pacific School of Religion and recently served as a hospice chaplain for Sutter Hospice in San Francisco. Before his work as a chaplain, Niels worked as an Assistant Professor in Sexuality Studies and Anthropology at San Francisco State University and received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from Northwestern University. His dissertation was based on a yearlong fieldwork project in Mali. In addition, Niels worked as a coach and consultant in private practice and offered parent education in collaboration with his wife, Rev. Angela Jernigan. Rev. Niels has a long history with Hillcrest. He preached here from time to time when Rev. Fred Weidmann was Senior Minister. After Rev. Fred departed, he served in 2022 as our Bridge Minister for several months. Accordingly, we not only say “Welcome” to Rev. Niels, we say “Welcome Home!” |
