She is a multi-instrumentalist and has been involved in music-making for as long as she can remember. She’s an award-winning singer/songwriter (earning the title “Best Emerging Artist” in the Hampton Roads area in 2008), and in October 2009, Nicole released her debut solo CD called “Notes on Paper”. She has been fascinated by the creative arts for some time, and enjoys exploring the connections between art and spirituality. Nicole received her B.A. in Sociology from Calvin College and a Certificate in Youth Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. She loves being outside, especially when hiking and backpacking, making art, reading, watching movies, and just relaxing at home with a great cup of coffee. Although she adores the staff with whom she works, she is NOT a morning person. nbelanus@shpchurch.org colleen lynch > business manager Colleen and her husband Ashby have a son Christopher, and have been actively involved in SHPC since “day one”. Colleen is in the office Tuesday through Friday, 9am-12pm, and does everything from putting bulletins together, to answering the phone, to keeping track of Bob and his adventures. Her favorite breakfast cereal is apple jacks. She makes an awesome rum cake and there isn’t a festival in Virginia that she hasn’t been to. clynch@shpchurch.org dawn padden > director of preschool Dawn is the Director of our Preschool program. She received her Doctorate in Education from The College of William and Mary in 2008 and has 14 years of experience in the field of education.

She is an advocate for children and early childhood education as well as a regular walker in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. dpadden@shpchurch.org We are a congregation that is... “Member Run, Elder Led, Staff Driven” The leadership team of SHPC is made up of staff and Session members. The Session is comprised of Elders nominated and voted on by the congregation and our pastor. They are a dynamic and diverse group of adults passionate about serving God and others through a two-year term of leadership and ministry. At SHPC, we don’t have any official deacons as we believe the responsibility of caring for the congregation should be a shared ministry of the members. mailto:bmelone@shpchurch.orghttp://www.nicolebelanus.comhttp://www.nicolebelanus.commailto:nbelanus@shpchurch.orgmailto:clynch@shpchurch.orgmailto:dpadden@shpchurch.org?subject=SHPC%20Preschoolmailto:dpadden@shpchurch.orgshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3shapeimage_3_link_4shapeimage_3_link_5shapeimage_3_link_6
