Rev. Evelyn Penn (REVelyn) had two successful careers in the K-12 education field before God called her to ministry. She graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary with a master’s degree in divinity in 2021. In 2022 she completed the  Graduate Certificate in Patient Counseling from the Medical College of Virginia Health Sciences Division at Virginia Commonwealth University. This third and final career is the most satisfying to her.

​Whether it is leading worship on Sunday or Bible Study,  she gives her all to everything that she does. While ministering to church congregants, she also volunteers with Toys for Tots, the Upper Lancaster Community Food Pantry, and the Northern Neck/Middlesex Free Health Clinic. She encourages us to give back to our community in any way we can.

“God has been so good to me. I want to share that with others."

She lives in the parsonage with four-legged friend, Avery, who accompanies her to the church. Her two grown adult children live in Virginia and lead busy lives with their spouses and children.
