Welcome to our new WTS Intern, Julia Brown. Julia will be with us this semester and through the next program year. Please be sure to welcome her as she serves and learns among us.

Greetings to all!Julia Brown

My name is Julia Brown, and I am very excited to begin an internship this winter at Hope Church! I have recently completed my first semester of the dual-track (M.Div/MSW) program at Western Theological Seminary (WTS), and am looking forward to the start of our second semester.  I will be continuing on in Greek, Church History, and a full schedule of the rest of my first year classes, as well as auditing a class called “Food and Faith.”

Before moving to Holland to attend WTS, I worked as a food service director for K-12 school districts in New Jersey, where I have lived all of my life. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2011 with a degree in Nutritional Sciences; focused on food service administration.

I enjoy food, people, wellness, and finding ways to incorporate all in my call to ministry. I am a lifelong member of the RCA, and have recently served as an elder at my home church, the Colts Neck Reformed Church, in central Jersey.

I look forward to getting to know you as we worship, serve, and gather together in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Blessings and peace,
Julia Brown
