Rosanna McFadden Pastor

B. A. Manchester College, N. Manchester, Indiana, 1985 English literature and Vocal Performance M.Div Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana, May 2011.

I am excited to join the pastoral team at Creekside in January 2011, in a quarter-time position. My duties include worship planning, preaching, pastoral care, and visitation. I have particular interest in Christian formation of adults and children, and feel that spiritual discipline is an integral part of Christian living. I am drawn to the writings and practices of Celtic Christianity. Music, drama, and the visual arts are an important part of worship for me, and I am committed to proclaiming the Word through those media, as well as in preaching and teaching.

I have grown up in the Church of the Brethren and served as a layperson and on denominational planning committees. Brethren history, theology, and family connections have played a significant role in my own formation as a person and as a pastor. I have been married to my husband, Tim, since 1983. We have three children who still consider Creekside their church home. Before enrolling in seminary I was a free-lance lettering artist, and I still enjoy lettering and design. I am also an avid reader, a dedicated runner, and a fair-weather kayaker. Our favorite vacation places are anywhere with sun, sand, and water.
