Pastor Jennifer Heavner, M.Div.
Pastor Jenny has served at Star of Bethlehem since November 2015. Originally from Baltimore, MD, she and her husband, Brandon, graduated from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, SC where they met. She holds two Master’s degrees in Divinity and Sacred Theology. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from La Salle University.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with Brandon, her nephew and niece (Quinn and Cassidy), friends, and family. An animal lover, she has a dog (Neumie), cat (Kitty), and leases a horse (Rapture). In warm weather, you’ll find her (trying!) gardening, birdwatching, swimming, keeping an eye on her mason bees, or at the barn working with Rapture. She also enjoys creative endeavors like ceramics and watercolor. She and Brandon also enjoy traveling to see their families in North Carolina and Maryland, and anywhere there’s a beach, lake, or water!
