HRPC Meet The Pastor

For me, the most helpful wisdom has come from my relationship with God through the witness of Jesus of
Nazareth, and so I have committed myself primarily to learning as much as I can about God's desires as
revealed in Jesus' story and patterning my life choices and attitudes after his teachings. I say "primarily,"
because although I feel called to express my faith through the vehicle of the Presbyterian version of
Christianity, I value the insights and wisdom of other denominations and faith traditions, believing that
none of us can fully know God's mind.

My name is Jan Trammell-Savin, and I am the pastor here at Hunting Ridge for its
time of transition. It seems I have always been fascinated by conversations about
meaning. What really makes life worth living? How can we respond creatively and
hopefully when we hit set-backs in our lives? How can we recognize and claim the
abundance offered to us in our lives? How can we be a part of making the world a
better place for everyone?

I've been married to my husband, Doug, a researcher in physical therapy and
rehabilitation science, for 21 years, and we live in a cottage in northern Baltimore
County, along with a few hundred books, a yard full of forsythia and apple trees, a
couple of Model AA Ford trucks (1929 and 1931), and two Mackerel tabbies -
Bonnie and Clyde.

I'd love to hear from you in person at our worship location on Edmondson Avenue, or through the places
of access on this website. What matters to you? Let's talk!
