Laurie Sweigard, Pastor
Laurie began her pastorate at Central Baptist in 2006. She immensely enjoys working in a pastoral partnership model and with CBCers, whose creativity, care for one another, compassion for the marginalized, and passion for justice never cease to amaze her. Previous to her pastorate at Central Baptist, Laurie worked for nearly 20 years in the Social Work field. She holds Masters degrees from Palmer Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Bryn Mawr College (M.S.S.). In addition to her present vocation, Laurie’s loves include traveling to out-of-the-ordinary places; spending time in nature; all God’s creatures; life-long learning; an eclectic mix of music, and her extended and nuclear family. Her current household includes feline companions Mo, Kobe, and Marley, Russian tortoise, Myrt, and life companion, Jackie.
