Rev. Stephanie Hankey
PASTOR
Stephanie grew up on the east coast, but has transitioned to life on the left coast since her move to serve as Pastor at WPC in 1996, after graduating from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. She’s married to Chris, a forester, and they have two mostly-grown children. Preaching and teaching are two of Stephanie’s most appreciated ministry gifts. She treasures the long relationship she’s had at WPC and values the changes she and the congregation have made over that time. She enjoys cooking for others and served as Mission Volunteer at a soup kitchen in Alaska for a year.

Gillian Westerman
DIRECTOR OF MUSIC, WORSHIP AND THE ARTS
Gillian has been a Music & Worship director for 16 years and loves bringing a variety of musical styles into worship. Classically trained in vocal performance she enjoys hosting a concert series each year involving local and not-so-local artists. She is married to Drew Virgin, our Tech director. In her free time she enjoys skiing, running, hiking, paddle boarding, and pretty much all things outdoors. Her indoor hobbies are Harry Potter lego sets, baking, and cooking. She grew up in Michigan and is a lifelong Hockey fan. Since she and Drew refuse to root for each other's team (Gillian - The Red Wings, Drew - the Dallas Stars) the Seattle Kraken created a perfect compromise and they attend games regularly.
