Ellen’s ‘Journey of Faith’ statement

“I believe that this God, though almighty, intimately knows and loves
each and every human being.”

Our video introduction to Ellen

“I believe that God sends the Holy Spirit
to the world
to inspire, prod, guide, and connect human beings,
both inside and outside the Church.”

Ellen’s family

Ellen is joined by her husband Tom
and their three-year-old son Albert.

Welcome to the Hensle Family!

Ellen and Tom met in their freshman year as brass players
new to the UPenn Band — they’ve continued to play together in a community ensemble,
and are encouraging three-year-old Albert to share their love of music.

We are thrilled that God is calling us back to the city where we met at this time in our lives!

— Ellen
