Church Administrator

I would like to extend to you and your family the warmest welcome to Resurrection Lutheran Church. My name is Elizabeth Copeland and I am the Church Administrator. I have a BA in Biblical Education that I received from Beulah Heights University in Atlanta, Georgia. I also received an A.A.S. in Legal Secretarial Science in 1979 in Brooklyn, New York.  

Matthew 6:33 states, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and these things shall be added”. This is one of my favorite passages of scriptures and working at Resurrection every day, I believe I’m striving to ‘seek ye first”. This is the joy of working at Resurrection. I get to seek the kingdom of God, the will of God, the plan and purpose of God by helping to proclaim the Good News. I have the opportunity to offer God’s love each and every day with the talent God has given me. It’s a joy to be able to use my skills in service to the kingdom of God. To be a channel wherein the Holy Spirit is able to move through is truly a blessing and a wonderful joy.
