REV. JENNIE CHURCHMAN

I have served as the Senior Minister of Eureka Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Eureka, Illinois since 2010. I received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992, a Masters of Divinity from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University in 1996, and completed one year of Ph.D. studies in Hebrew Bible at Union Theological Seminary in New York.

I was ordained to the Christian ministry at First Christian Church of Wichita Falls, Texas in 1996.

I am a trained spiritual director, having completed the program at the Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction in Tucson, Arizona in 2015. I have also been very involved with the Academy for Spiritual Formation since 1999 and currently serve as an Academy Mentor for Five-Day Academy leadership teams. I wrote a series of meditations for The Upper Room Disciplines 2012 and taught a class on the spiritual disciplines at Eureka College (Spring 2013). In addition, I have developed and facilitated numerous retreats throughout my ministry. In 2016, I walked the 500-mile Camino de Santiago in northern Spain; in 2022, I walked the 500-mile Camino route called Le Puy through southwestern France.

My daughter Rachel is a student at Bradley University in Peoria, majoring in Civil Engineering. In 2023, I married Matt Winger who works for Caterpillar in Peoria. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking (of course!), reading, cooking, gardening, sewing and crafting, watching movies, playing games, and traveling as much as possible.
