The Colletts – Dedicated to Creating a Welcoming Space

The significance of a well-rounded spiritual experience is not lost on Robert and Sue Colletts. Robert said, “The preaching, teaching, music and underlying theology is all important, but the space is important too.”

The Colletts are serving on the Capital Stewardship Campaign Building Committee. They recognize the lack of proper child service facilities, youth space and a general gathering area. Sue pointed out cathedrals and their grounds used to be built by kings and queens. However, she ardently continued, “There are no kings and queens anymore. It’s up to us or it’s not going to be there.”

Previously, Sue worked on the Chapel addition. She saw first-hand how meeting the church’s needs, while preserving the aesthetic beauty of the campus, benefited parishioners. She and Robert are both committed to creating a welcoming space. Sue put it very well, “You get people here how and when you can so that they can hear the Good Word.”
