Connections Coordinator


On May 20th, Lindsey Patterson changed roles at Methodist Temple. She transitioned from her position in Kidz Ministry and moved to a newly-created position, Connections Coordinator. This position will be a liaison between the church and our many outreach and ministry partners including the Methodist Temple Children’s Center and Harper Elementary. Lindsey will be regularly present on Sundays to welcome newcomers and create a culture of welcome through hospitality initiatives. She will specifically be available to families with children. We are excited about this transition and are ready to see what Lindsey will accomplish in her new role!
