She is a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University in 2012 and Princeton Theological Seminary in 2017. She is a doctoral candidate at Emmanuel College in the University of Toronto for homiletics. Leanne was deeply shaped by her time as an associate pastor at a church plant in the Mountain Plains District, as well as an assistant pastor at a Methodist church revitalization during seminary. She is passionate about local churches and Christians being the incarnate hope of Jesus in their neighborhoods through proclamation of all kinds. Leanne is married to Andrew and together they share one fluffy, silly goldendoodle, many moves and adventures, and a whole lot of grace.
