About Rev. Layne Brubaker
To tell you a bit about my journey of ministry before moving to Tacoma, I lived in New Orleans for 8 years, with my husband Rev. Crawford Brubaker and two fluffy Golden retrievers, where I served in a variety of ministry positions and honed a range of ministry skills. I moved to New Orleans to work and learn as a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Resident at a local New Orleans hospital- during these years I worked on psychiatric units. Following CPE I served as the Young Adult Volunteer Site Coordinator, a Stated Supply Minister, and a was the Co Founder of a New Worshiping Community called The Okra Abbey (http://okraabbey.com/)
I have been called to Tacoma to be a part of the Presbyteries initiative to begin a Worshiping Community at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor. The name of this new worshiping community is Hagar's Community Church. Hagar's Community Church offers a weekly, ecumenical, inclusive worship and congregational experience for any offenders at the WCCW that wishes to participate.
