Executive Director's Message

The Lehigh County Conference of Churches has announced the departure of its Executive Director the Rev. Dr. Christine Nelson.  She has served the Conference as Executive Director since 1999.  In Dr. Nelson’s 14 years of ministry with the LCCC the Conference has grown to serve 12,000 citizens who are most in need, increased the budget to $3.5 million and increased the Conference’s impact in the community. Reverend Nelson expresses: “It has been my joy to walk with people in need in our community to a new chapter in their lives.  It is now my turn to begin a similar journey.”

The Board of Directors of the Conference of Churches thanks her for her years of dedicated service and wishes her well. The Lehigh County Conference of Churches unites communities of faith as ecumenical partners.  Putting faith into action, they minister to and advocate for those in need and encourage all to reach their full potential.  The Conference strives to be the face, feet, hands, and heart of God’s grace in the Lehigh Valley, leading the faith community in feeding, clothing, healing, housing, and uniting God’s children.

Ira Faro, current Development Senior Director of the Conference, has been appointed Interim Executive Director.  The Board of Directors will be conducting a search for a new Executive Director.
