Welcome Heather McDermott!

Heather McDermott

Hi! My name is Heather McDermott and I’m the new Volunteer Ministry Coordinator for CFNA. Joining CFNA was a complete God thing. I wasn’t looking for a job and then Dr. Stanish Stanley was talking to my mom at church about the need for someone to coordinate volunteers for all the various avenues of ministry for CFNA. What I wasn’t looking for, became something I am incredibly passionate about!  

I was born and raised in St. Louis in a lifelong Lutheran family. I attended private grade school and high school, then went on to attend Valparaiso University. My husband Matt and I have two children and love camping, going to the lake, and spending time with family. We both love to cook and can be found in the kitchen or on the deck grilling every weekend! I teach Jazzercise and love group fitness with a part of my soul I never thought possible. Engaging with a class and encouraging them to push themselves further than they thought possible is one of my favorite things to do! I am also on the Alumni Board for Lutheran Summer Music, a month-long music camp that shaped my passion for music ministry in the church and encourages youth to be engaged in their home congregations. 

I look forward to engaging with the volunteers that support CFNA and can’t wait to see where God leads us in the next few years!
