YCOM
(Youth & Community Outreach Minister)
​Jenny Lane

Jennifer (Jenny) Lane is a soon-to-be ordained American Baptist minister with a deeply rooted Congregationalist background. Having taught yoga since 2010, Jenny has had the gift of owning a brick and mortar yoga studio and founding two 501c3 nonprofit organizations; marking a lifelong vocation in community connection, spiritual care, and collecting many degrees! Jenny is a reiki master teacher, e-ryt 500 hour yoga teacher, certified peacekeeper for peacemaking circles and is passionate about nurturing intergenerational communities, transforming conflict, and building healing-centered, justice-driven initiatives. In my personal life, I love yoga, reading and watercoloring while being deeply grateful to be actively blending our new family, having married my husband Ben in a ceremony in May alongside our fourth graders Zyan and Ayla. I am overjoyed to be coming in as the new Youth and Community Outreach Minister at Payson Park and looking forward to finding ways to grow together in God's love!
