Rev. Laura Guy brings a wealth of experience, passion, and faith to this role. A second-career pastor, Rev. Guy initially served as a third-grade teacher in Olathe schools before following God’s call to ministry. She earned her Master of Divinity degree from Saint Paul School of Theology and was ordained in 2005.

While in seminary, she founded Living Water Christian Church in Parkville and led the congregation from 2004 to 2021. Most recently, she served as the Great Plains Congregational Engagement Director for DART, a faith-based organizing nonprofit. 

In addition to her ministry work, Rev. Guy has a deep commitment to community service. She has volunteered for over 13 years with Crafted Fair Trade (formerly Ten Thousand Villages) in Overland Park and served on the Shawnee Mission School District Board of Education from 2018 to 2022.

Rev. Guy lives in Overland Park with her husband, Clif Guy, who has been the IT Lead Director at Church of the Resurrection for 22 years. They spend much of their free time with their two grown children and two grandchildren who live nearby.

Ministry runs deep in the Guy family. Rev. Guy is part of a lineage of Disciples of Christ pastors spanning three generations. Her father-in-law was a Disciples pastor, and her daughter, Beth Guy, has served as a Global Ministries Mission Intern in the Caribbean.
