Laren McCormack 

Laren is a proud (Houston) Texas native who is now proud to call Memphis home. After graduating with degrees in Computer Science and Music Performance (BS Lipscomb '07), she answered the call to ministry and continued her education (M.Div '12; DMin '22) focusing on intergenerational spiritual formation. Laren joined Lindenwood in 2018, first as a congregant, and then as the Youth director before her current position as Family Life Minister. At Lindenwood, she is passionate about intergenerational worship, which creates a space where all ages worship together and everyone's voice, no matter how young (or old), has equal value. When not coloring with the amazing colors God made with children or getting a handle on life and God at work in our community from teenagers, she is either in her supply-filled (and ladybug-filled) office matching crayons, or walking the halls disturbing the childcare classes. When she is not at Lindenwood, she can be found sitting alone in her God chair, reading a good book, baking sweets, eating good food, or being a nerd and working on math problems.
