Get to Know Us
Parakaleo is a Christian nonprofit that comes alongside women in church planting, including wives of church planters. Because of their almost 20-year mission, history and resources, the EPC Church Planting Community is partnering with them to support the wives of our church planters. Jenyffer Feliz and Susan Nash are the face of this support within the EPC. Jenyffer, a church planter wife in Florida, has participated in a Parakaleo Alongside Group in the past and is now undergoing training through Parakaleo in order that she may lead Alongside Groups. Susan, a D.Min. graduate with 38 years’ experience in church ministry at the local church, presbytery and denominational levels, is currently a spiritual director and church consultant.
About
Meet Susan Nash
Susan founded Still Waters Soul Care to help others experience the depth of God's love, a passion she discovered through her own journey of ministry burnout and recovery. With a B.A. in French, a Master’s in Christian Education, and a Doctorate of Ministry in Women's Ministry, she brings over 38 years of church ministry and consulting experience. Susan's longstanding history of ministry to women makes her an excellent addition to the EPC Church Planting Communities network of resources for our planters and their spouses. Outside of her work, Susan enjoys time with family, Alabama football, reading, and traveling.
