Rene Morrissey Youth Director
Rene is one of the only middle-aged youth in Pueblo: “young at heart” does not begin to describe her energy and enthusiasm.  Yet, as a mother of two college graduates, Rene’s maturity and experience guide our junior and senior high youth deeper into Christ.

Liz Shoemaker Music Director
Liz is a graduate of the University of Indianapolis and has served as a music teacher (voice and piano) or choir director for almost 40 years.  Liz commutes from Colorado Springs, where she makes her home with her husband, Dennis.

Gail Ganger Director or Children’s Ministries

Lyn Mabey Church Secretary
Lyn is our resident “Brit,” who migrated across the Pond with her husband, Roger, 11 years ago.  Questions about what is going on?  Ask Lyn first!

Karen Brooks Rhea Financial Secretary/Office Manager
Karen has been at First Presbyterian for eight years and is the person you need to know around here if you want a bill paid, a giving statement or anything else to do with money.  Interestingly, Karen majored in biology, not accounting, which may explain her great love for turtles.

Karl Fisher Custodian
Karl is our newest staff at First Presbyterian having come to us from the food service industry where he has owned and/or managed shops for over two decades.  Karl is also our "Kitchen Coordinator" responsible for food prep at our Wednesday night Presbybar and other all church gatherings.
