THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Rev. Dr. Janice Mynchenberg

“Anytime people say that mountain can’t be moved, I say, ‘God moved two for me.’ He moved women get ordained, and then he moved gay and lesbian people who are partnered get ordained.”

Ordained in 1988, the Rev. Dr. Janice Mynchenberg has served the majority of her years of ministry as a trained interim minister. She has worked with ELCA and UCC congregations in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Alabama and Washington D.C.,  as well as serving as an ecumenical chaplain in a retirement community.
