Pastor Christian (she/her/hers) graduated from Yale Divinity School in 2014 and the University of Kansas in 2010. Christian was ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in November 2014. She served as an Associate Minister in the United Church of Christ in Connecticut, a Global Co-Missioner with Global Ministries in Istanbul, Turkey, and as a Peace Intern with Disciples Peace Fellowship. She co-imagined the Constructive Theologies Project, and continues to serve as a board member. Her ministry passions include fostering alternative faith communities, spiritual mentorship, creative liturgies, interbelief solidarity and supplying abundant enthusiasm. She is committed to anti-racist and inclusive LGBTQ+ institutional practices. Contact Pastor Christian.                                          


Andrea Jones, Office Administrator

​Andrea pronounced (On-dree-uh) was born in California but raised in Oklahoma City due to being a military child. The apple didn't fall too far when she married a service-member herself, which is the reason why she landed here in Kansas. Although from Oklahoma, she is not an OU Sooner or OSU Cowboy fan (she graduated from Texas A&M), but does love the Oklahoma City Thunder (basketball). When she is not at ECM, she is enjoying shopping, dance fitness classes, volleyball, cooking/eating, and being with her family/friends. 
Contract Andrea Jones.

"ECM encouraged me when others didn't. I couldn't have done it without this community. I just want to give back." -Sam

"Every time you are at ECM, you are reminded that you are welcome. It's awesome." -Javier
