Meet our Pastors and Staff
Rev. Elizabeth Lyman
Transitional Pastor
I am so happy to be spending this time at The Holy Way. It is a great, fun-loving group of dedicated Christians and I invite you to come and join us.
I have been in ministry for 25 years and have spent most of that time in interim/transitional ministry. That means I come into a church that has recently experienced a pastoral change and walk with them for a year or two while they go through a process of finding another installed pastor.
I have a Master's of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and have completed my doctoral studies in transitional ministry at Louisville Theological Seminary. I have served churches all over the country and have also served in Kenya. I am trained in congregational trauma and served with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance for almost a year after Hurricane Katrina.
I look forward to my time here at Holy Way. This is an exciting church.
