Join us in welcoming our new seminary intern Hello! My name is Brittney Daniel and I am a fourth year MDiv student at Columbia Theological Seminary You may have seen me around the grounds of SAPC because this is my second year working for the Tucker Farmer’s Market! I am so excited to be working inside the walls of the church in the coming weeks. I am a cradle Presbyterian and love the church with all my heart. I look forward to getting to know you all and embracing community once again. During my off time I can be found at the climbing gym, hiking with my rescue dog, Dave, or playing board games with friends. I pray that we can engage one another in new and joyful ways during my time at SAPC!
