Megan's Bio I grew up with one brother in a rural part of eastern PA, where my mom and dad built our house themselves, and raised pigs and chickens! Most of my time in high school was spent playing the trumpet or working on a dairy farm. I went to Gettysburg College for Environmental studies. My first job out of college was as a campus minister with the CCO in downtown Pittsburgh, working with students from Point Park. I met my husband Ben within the first few months of living in Pittsburgh. We got married in April 2005, and soon after bought our house in Friendship. I currently work as a Staff Scientist for an environmental consulting firm and Ben works as a software engineer for a biomedical device company. When not working on our house... we enjoy hiking and camping and good beer. It is a joy for us to share our home with others! God has been working in me every step of the way.

7 words to describe me farm girl at heart, loves the city Vision & prayer for the Open Door That we would know whose we are (that we belong to God and to each other), where we are (knowing our neighborhoods and neighbors), and that we would follow Jesus in ordinary and RADICAL ways, choosing risk over comfort, action over complacency. That we would learn to pray.
