Evans City church is ambitious young pastor’s first call
EVANS CITY — New life has been injected into Westminster United Presbyterian Church in the form of a young, highly educated and community-minded pastor.
The Rev. Lauren Bosserman accepted her first call to serve as lead pastor when she was offered the job at Westminster.
“The reason I felt called was the people on the search committee,” said Bosserman, 27. “I felt like I already knew them.”
Bosserman grew up in Iron Mountain, Mich., which is on the state’s Upper Peninsula, with her father, a Presbyterian minister, and mother, a praise band leader and children’s ministry director.
“Because Dad was a minister, I did not want to do it,” she said of her post-high school plans. “I was not interested in that life, I suppose.”
She said she was always interested in counseling and music, having sung and played piano all her life.
