Jennifer Halteman Schrock

I straddle two half-time roles. At Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College, I am the leader of Mennonite Creation Care Network. On the Goshen College campus, I am the administrative assistant for SST.

I’ve served Merry Lea in a variety of capacities since 2002. In the past, I have written grants, coordinated the public programs, managed communications and taught a course in the Sustainability Leadership Semester entitled Faith, Ethics and Ecojustice. Currently, as the leader of Mennonite Creation Care Network, I resource congregations across the U.S. and Canada as they incorporate care for the earth into their ministries

When outdoors, I focus on plants, birds and gardening.
