Jodi Rush - Hope, Finding Words, And Ministry With Children

Cumberland Road

Jodi Rush writes: I grew up in the McKenzie Cumberland Presbyterian Church but began life attending a Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Chicago, Illinois from the time I was born until we moved to McKenzie, Tennessee when I was five. I was very active in leadership at the McKenzie Church serving as a Sunday school teacher, VBS director, and as an ordained elder while in high school. I attended Bethel College where I met my husband Kip and graduated from Bethel with Christian Education degree. I worked at the Marshall Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Texas while Kip served at Elmira Chapel. We lived in Rydal, Georgia for a few years and next was Beersheba Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Columbus, Mississippi. While there, I served as the Ecumenical Ministries Director on the campus of Mississippi University for Women. At the Brenthaven Church, I served at Director of Christian Education until beginning my work with the Discipleship Ministry Team as Director of Children and Family Ministry. We have two adult daughters – Madison and Devin and two dogs – Oscar and Felix. I love flower gardening, listening to live music, Broadway plays, and exploring and going new places. I have a cancer diagnosis since April of 2021.
