Other Staff
The Chapel's staff is currently in transition.  On May 18, the church called John Scott to join us, July 2008 - July 2009 as a Pastoral Intern.  This position was made possible through a very generous donation made in memory of Sherril H. Griffin, the donor's sister. 
 
John is currently a senior at San Francisco Theological Seminary.  As an Intern, John will experience the full range of pastoral responsibilities.  However, he will place special emphasis on work with the Chapel's youth and Christian Education programs.  He has strong skills and experience in both areas.
 
We look forward to welcoming John to the Chapel.  More information will follow.

John Scott, Pastoral Intern



Elizabeth Brooksbank, Interim Director Children's Ministry

Elizabeth’s Siesta Key Chapel roots are planted strong.  She and her family have been with the Chapel from the very beginning as charter members, so God’s Treehouse is truly a second home to her.

After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ringling School of Art and Design, Elizabeth began her teaching career at the Out-of-Door Academy.  Following a short break to start a family, she began working at Forty Carrots Family Center as a Parenting Educator.  She continues her work there with teen parents at Cyesis High School and Character House, a program for incarcerated pregnant and juvenile parents.  Although, she is most proud of her favorite job – being the mother of two wonderful daughters, Emily and Avery.

Elizabeth has been the co-director of SKC’s Vacation Bible School and active in the children’s programs at the Chapel.  She is thrilled to be the Interim Director of Children’s Ministry at Siesta Key Chapel.
