Steal Away

Published by karenpts

I am the pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Smithtown, NY, on Long Island. Come and visit! We want to share God’s love and grace with you and encourage you on your journey of faith. I have served Presbyterian congregations in Minnesota, Florida and Ohio since my ordination in 2011. I earned a master of divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2010 and a doctor of ministry degree from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 2025. I am married to Jim and we have 5 grown children and two grandchildren in our blended family. We are parents to fur babies, Liam, an orange tabby cat, and Minnie, a toy poodle. View more posts
