Leadership

Our Staff

We have a wonderful staff who each bring a variety of gifts to serve the congregation and our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • John grew up in New Jersey as the youngest of two children and graduated from Rutgers University before earning his degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He has served churches in several states and various capacities. One of the things he loves about serving at WPC is the opportunity to watch people grow in their faith.

    John has been married to his wife Ruthie for over forty years. Together they have two daughters and two grandchildren. In his spare time, John enjoys working in the yard, reading all types of books, serving first responders, spending time with family, and hanging out with Ruthie and their Black Lab, Mollie.

  • Anna grew up in central Massachusetts and began a relationship with Jesus in high school after attending a Young Life camp. She loved becoming a Young Life leader and felt called to pursue ministry as a career. Anna attended Gordon College and earned a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries with a concentration in Youth Ministry and a minor in Biblical Studies. While at Gordon and beyond Anna volunteered as a Young Life leader and worked leading high school and middle school ministries at a church in Massachusetts.

    Anna has now been the Next Gen Director at WPC for three years, and loves getting to see God at work in the lives of the young people in this community.

    In her free time, you can find Anna spending time with her husband, Aaron, or hiking, rock climbing, playing Stardew Valley, at trivia night with her friends, or with her pet rabbit, Gwen.

  • Meet Fran, the dedicated administrative assistant at Windham Presbyterian Church, where she brings her passion for organization and service to the community she holds dear. Fran's journey intertwines with the Presbyterian faith, a cornerstone of her life since childhood.

    Before her role in church administration, Fran pursued her love for floral design, working as a florist and honing her creativity in arranging beautiful bouquets. This passion seamlessly transitioned into her avid gardening hobby, where she finds joy in getting her hands dirty.  She recently  completed her Master Gardener certification from the UNH extension, and is always looking to deepen her knowledge and share her expertise with others.

    Outside of her professional and volunteer pursuits, Fran cherishes her family life in Mont Vernon. She shares her home with her husband, Matt, their youngest child, Xanna, and her mother, Jeanne. Matt and Fran also have two other adult children, Sarah in Manchester and Annie in Florida, as well as two grandchildren.

  • Jennifer Daley has served as the music director at WPC since 2017. She received her Bachelor's in Music Education (Choral) from Furman University and her Master's in Music Education (Choral) from Arizona State University. Jennifer has taught high school choirs for many years and has earned her National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification in Music (Early Adolescents through Young Adult). She has previous experience directing the Chancel Choir at Desert Heritage Church and has sung on several praise and worship teams over the years. Jennifer currently sings in the Back Bay Chorale in Boston, MA. She resides in Windham with her husband, two children, two cats, and a dog.

  • David is great! We need his bio

  • Rosa grew up in Hong Kong and moved to New York when she was 18 to pursue higher education. She got her BA in Accounting Information System and MBA in Finance from Pace University. Prior to moving to NH, she worked for the NYC Office of Management and Budget as a Senior Budget Analyst. She also worked for ADP as an Implementation Payroll analyst in NH. She is married to Joe and has two grown children, Stephen and Sarah, both working and living in the Boston area.

    Rosa joined WPC in 2005 and continues to be an active member of the Mission Committee as well as taking on the Treasurer position. She enjoys her Tuesday morning Bible Study at WPC, learning more about God’s words, and strengthening her faith. She loves spending time with her family, traveling, eating out, and meeting new friends.

  • Nancy was raised as a Presbyterian where she grew up in Saxonburg, PA, and attended Saxonburg Memorial Church. She married her husband Bill there in 1975. The two moved to Massachusetts in 1978 - right after the blizzard! They then moved to Derry, New Hampshire in 1981. Nancy and Bill adopted their daughter Pam in 1983 from Korea.

    Nancy started attending WPC and joined in 2003. Larry Nice, the Christian Education Director at that time, asked her to be a helper in the Pre-K Sunday School class (3 & 4 year olds) which lead to her teaching that group for 15 years. Nancy has also served 2 terms as Deacon during her years at WPC.

    Nancy began serving as our Nursery Caretaker in 2024, and finds the time sharing God’s love with our littlest members to be both rewarding and fun!
