Director of Music
Jamie is a graduate of West Chester University with a BS in Music Education. She served as a director of music at Advent Lutheran Church, Richboro for nearly 10 years before coming to Advent and has also taught music in the Catholic School system, in a local studio, and privately. A daughter of a Lutheran Pastor, she has experience leading musical performances, praise teams, bell choirs, adult choirs, and children's choirs. Her husband, Erick, is a music teacher in the Garnet Valley School District and their two elementary-age children are also developing an ear for music. Music and faith are an important part of Jamie and her family's lives. "Don't Hide Your Light!

Pre-School Director
I have lived in West Chester since attending WCU, where I met my now husband Tony. We have a 9 year old daughter and a 5 year old son, who attend Glen Acres Elementary School and Fern Hill Elementary School. I became involved with the preschool when my daughter, Belle, attended in 2014. Throughout the years, I have been a volunteer, teacher, and board member. As a member of Advent Lutheran Church, I also teach Sunday School. My favorite moments in the preschool have always focused around community outreach, including Movie Nights and our annual fundraisers. In my spare time, I am involved in the Glen Acres PTO and love to learn new crafts and cook.

Organist
Despite working in healthcare for almost 40 years, music has always been a major part of my life since I began studying organ at the age of 8. I have been a long-time member of Advent and have enjoyed accompanying the choirs and working with other musicians over the years. It is a pleasure to serve as Advent's organist.

Sunday School Superintendent
I have run VBS at Advent since summer 2014. I really enjoy organizing events for Sunday school-age children, and when the opportunity arose to expand my role in the Church as Sunday school Superintendent I was happy to accept the position. I am married to Dave Wolff, and we have two girls, Teagan (6th grade) and Bracken (2nd grade) - who happily provide input and help organize Sunday School events. It is wonderful to have a role with Christian education where I watch my own children, and many other children, learn more about God's love through Jesus.
