Pastor Sue Kiefner

Sue Kiefner is a Lay Pastor for the East District of the EPAUMC. Her love for Jesus came later in life when she began to search for deeper meaning and discovered God’s redeeming grace. From the moment she realized what Jesus did for her (and all people), she felt a call to do all she could to share the message of God’s love, hope, and forgiveness with others. Sue feels most satisfied when she is doing work for the church. She wants to lead people to a deeper understanding of themselves and help them build a relationship with God. Her heart overflows with love when she hears stories of salvation and always looks for ways to help those in need.

Sue and her husband Steve have two active teenagers who play softball and baseball. Patrick is a freshman in college and Casey is a junior in high school.
