Rev. Nancy Stanley
Biography and Calling to Ministry
Pastor Nancy was born in Steubenville, Ohio and moved with her family to Georgia when she was 13. She has lived in many different kinds of communities in Ohio, Georgia, Kentucky, France, New York and New Jersey. At heart she is a small village/country girl who has seen a good bit of the world, including some large cities and busy suburbs. She much prefers a quiet, friendly community and feels blessed to serve as pastor in the Lake and River Parish.
Nancy received her call to ministry in 2001. She has experience in education and legal assistance as well as occupation in food service and benefits management. All the experience of her life has prepared her for her "final career" as a full time Christian minister.
Her love of preaching began as a Lay Speaker for her church in Rye, New York. She loves getting to know the teens and children. She feels strongly that Christians should be involved and active not only within their congregations, but also in showing God's love and care through charitable work in the greater community and throughout the world.
