Dawn has served the Evangelical Covenant Church as a chaplain, a worship pastor, and now as Associate Pastor for Congregational Life at Glen Ellyn Covenant. She gives thanks for how the Lord called her to be a pastor through her music. Dawn is passionate about intergenerational ministry and finding ways for all ages to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus Christ. She has a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from The Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford, and a Master of Divinity from North Park Theological Seminary. Growing up in Connecticut instilled in Dawn an abiding love for sailing and the ocean. She and her husband, David, are graduates of Wheaton College, where David now serves as an academic Dean. They have a daughter, a daughter-in-law, two sons, and a dog named Wrigley. Dawn is grateful that she worships each week with three generations of her own family (parents, children, nieces and nephews), and with the church family that she has known since childhood.

Hey Y’all! My name is Joseph, and I am from Holland, MI. I love grilling out, Chicago sports, playing catch with the frisbee, and Billy Joel. I grew up going to the local church Youth Group and participating in Young Life. I attended a gap year program post-High School, and that was when I knew I wanted to follow Jesus. After College, I hit the workforce doing a wide variety of jobs. Summers were spent working at a camp called HoneyRock, where I could build relationships, spend time with others, and talk about the gospel. It was during that time that I knew I wanted to live a life of ministry. I am super excited to serve at Glen Ellyn Covenant Church and be a part of this incredible community!

Karen joined our staff in May of 2011, bringing with her extensive experience in administrative and financial management with other non-profits in the Wheaton area. She is exceedingly patient with those staff members who are not "numbers people" and such a delight to be around. She and her husband, John, have three children and have lived in the west suburbs their whole life.

Holly is a graduate of Benedictine University and has been working in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 10 years. Holly came to us highly recommended with her experience as an Assistant Director and many years of teaching. Her nurturing nature, calm guidance and love for the Lord shines through and spreads to all she encounters. Holly works hard to find connections between the church and the preschool, between the two staffs, and with families from the church and school. We benefit greatly from her expertise in this important role and are blessed to have her represent our church in this position of community outreach. She and her husband, Scott, have three young children and live in Wheaton.
