Polly joined our staff in June of 2025.  She is the person on the other end of the line when you call our church office. Polly serves as the “hub” of church communication, coordinating the office, facilitating information distribution, and providing hospitality to all who interact with the church. In her other career, Polly is the Executive Director of Creative Spark Gallery on Englewood Row in Independence, Missouri. An artist, poet, book designer, and speaker, she has shown art internationally crediting much of her creative work to her master’s thesis on the subconscious creative process, which won her an Ernest Hartmann Award.
