My name is Lisa Brown and I serve as the Director of Religious Education and The Office of Family Ministry at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Community in Lake Orion, MI. My husband Kip and I have been married 20 years and have three lovely daughters ages 19, 16, and 11. I hold a master’s degree in Theology from Loyola University of Chicago, am a trained spiritual director and have picked up a few other various certificates along the way. I spent many years working as a campus minister at a public university and as a retreat director. I am Level III Certified in the Montessori-based, contemplative style of Faith Formation called "Catechesis of the Good Shepherd" (www.cgsusa.org).  Building our three atria with my "small but mighty" team of colleagues since my hire at CTR in 2014 has been one of the deepest joys of my professional career. I am also delighted and very excited to have been invited to speak at this year’s Castelot Scripture Conference on Oct. 17th, 2021 (https://www.facebook.com/Castelot-Scripture-1604064313180988/).
