My name is Jane Sorenson and it is my delight to be serving as Monroe Congregational's pastor. I am a second-career pastor, having attained my Master's of Divinity degree at Seattle University in 2003 and being ordained in the UCC that same year. I was born in Everett and raised in Edmonds and now make my home in Sultan. I am married to Tom Sorenson, who preceded me in this pastorate; and we are lucky to have children and grandchildren fairly nearby. My greatest hope is that all may understand how deeply they are loved by God. We may not all follow the same paths or traditions, but that does not dim God's love for us, and it is a mistake for any of us to act as if it does.
