Susan has been a part of Mountain Creek since 1993, when she went to church for the first time, met a fun-loving group of folks, saw her need for a savior, and has clung to Jesus ever since. Prior to serving as the Office Administrator, Susan taught Sunday School and was the Children’s Ministry Director for Mountain Creek. In addition to running the day-to-day office operations, Susan can be found running the tech computer on Sundays, organizing meals for the homeless, and coordinating outreach events. God has wired her to serve others!

Susan grew up in Colorado and moved to Washington in 1991 when she married the man who swept her off her feet, Darin. They are blessed with 4 adult children. As a family, they love playing games, being outdoors, riding horses, and exploring dirt roads and ghost towns. Susan’s “Heaven on Earth” is an empty, quiet house with a good mystery novel or spending time with her girlfriends.
