Pastor Susan joyfully serves this church, and the Bartlett community, since 2010. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, IL, a United Church of Christ (UCC) affiliated college, and earned her Master of Divinity Degree from Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, MA, near Boston. She and her husband, Arthur, have lived in Elgin, IL since 1984. After her Associate Minister position at St. Paul UCC in Elgin (1984-1988), she took seriously the “ministry of motherhood” (they have two, now adult, children), simultaneously filling in for clergy all over the Fox Valley, along with various wider church roles. Previously she was Adjunct Minister at Immanuel UCC in Streamwood, IL (1994-2007), Part-time Youth Minister at St. Paul UCC, Elgin (2005-2008), and served as a Hospital Chaplain Intern at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, IL (2009).
