An Update from Teresa Murray

Published On April 28, 2026

Teresa MurrayHi Friends! In Ecclesiastes chapter 3, we are reminded that for everything there is a season. After an amazing 22 years on the staff team, I will be transitioning from Director of Early Childhood at HP Pres and will be entering into the role of Director of Administration at The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology. This transition will begin in mid-May and will be completed after VBS. I simply couldn’t miss the best week of the year!

Friends, it has been one of my greatest joys and privileges to walk alongside so many of you raising children together, learning how to be the parents we were created to be, celebrating the highs, grieving the lows, discovering new strengths in one another, all while introducing the next generation to Jesus. I cherish the countless conversations over the years that have left a permanent imprint on my heart and soul. God has been so good!

HP Pres has been the church home for Team Murray prior to me joining staff and it will continue to be after I turn over my unlimited access to the 3rd floor staff area. So, while after June 14th I will not be in Wight Garden each Sunday morning to welcome families and receive the best high-fives in town, I will be around, will continue to pray for and with you, and will always be excited to connect.

Director of Early Childhood
