The Nashville Institute for Faith and Work is excited to welcome Lauren Brett as the NIFW Program Coordinator!
Lauren comes to NIFW with a rich background of education and experience in Ministry and Higher Education Administration, as well as a deep passion for Faith and Work integration.
A graduate of Lee University (B.S. Children's Ministry) and Geneva College (M.A. Higher Education), Lauren comes to Nashville from Anderson, SC where she has served at Anderson University as a Residence Director, Course Instructor, and most recently, Director of Student Involvement and New Student Programs.
Prior to her time in Anderson, Lauren lived in Chattanooga, TN where she served as Children's Ministry Director at Sojourn Community Church as well as in an Administrative role at McCallie School.
Director of NIFW, Josiah Leuenberger, shares about Lauren:
"We are grateful for how God has drawn together Lauren and NIFW for this next season of ministry and we are excited for all she will add to the NIFW ministry team! Lauren's organizational skill set, heart for people, and proven ability to invest in others to serve God in their areas of opportunity will be a significant gift to the NIFW community."
And a brief word from Lauren Brett:
"I look forward to serving as the Program Coordinator for the Nashville Institute for Faith and Work! The heart and mission of NIFW – ”to equip, connect, and mobilize Christians to integrate their faith and their work for the flourishing of Nashville and beyond” - is a mission that I deeply believe in. It is my desire to support NIFW participants to this end. I look forward to serving NIFW participants as they learn about being engaged, global citizens who impact the world for the good of their neighbors and the glory of God."
Please extend Lauren a warm welcome and pray for her as she relocates to Nashville and joins the NIFW Staff in late August!
