Impact Moments - Jamie

Jamie is a next-door neighbor – he literally lives next door to Westwood House. He has seen and served Westwood House in what he calls “three eras of campus ministry” – time as a part-time administrator with Shawn Norris, LCM-KU Campus Pastor; time with Susan Mercer UMC, WesleyKU Campus Pastor during the interim time following LCM-KU Campus Pastor Dan Baldwin’s departure; and current ‘era,” with Campus Pastor Alex Bruening, UMC, our current pastor for both WesleyKU and LCM-KU. Jamie serves as our Associate Director of Hospitality and Community Outreach.

Grateful for “impact moments,” Jamie feels privileged to witness what can happen on a busy night at Westwood House, where 40 or more people from all over the world and several faith perspectives gather around tables, sharing a meal and talking together. Moments when students can express who they are; have honest conversations about the good, and the bad; family and friends; feeling trust to be vulnerable; and experience faith in worship.

Such moments endure at Westwood House, as our Campus Ministry continues to offer social connections through evening meals and time for worship. It is a place to explore faith and self. These opportunities are a direct result of your gracious generosity. We are thankful for your essential part in our ministry. Thanks be to God!
