Stephanie Stine - Clerk of Session
Stephanie Stine, Clerk of Session
My family and I have enjoyed living in Baldwinsville for the past 27 years. A big change from the Washington DC/Virginia area but we enjoy this community very much.
I enjoy the beautiful scenery of Central New York and love that you don’t have to go very far to get away and enjoy it. I am an avid reader, aspiring writer, and animal lover. I love to travel and dig into history to see what it can tell us.
As the Clerk of Session I assist the Ruling Elders with their meetings, provide statistics and information to the local presbytery and the congregation, and coordinate a number of church activities.
Please contact me with any questions or just to share information you’d like the Ruling Elders to know at; clerk@presbville.com.
