Michelle Wolfe
Office Manager 
Statement: I was born and raised in Waterloo and graduated from Walnut Ridge Baptist Academy. I received a BA in criminal justice in 2014 but I have worked at many churches and a synagogue throughout the years and enjoy working in the religious field.
I began my employment at FCUCC in 2016 and I appreciate how the congregation has made me feel so welcome. Interests: Playing with my dog, Cooper; playing video games with my husband; and listening to music. Hudson Lourenço
Organist 
Statement:Hudson is a Brazilian native from São Paulo. His first contact with church music was through many relatives, most of them being church musicians as well, still during his childhood. Hudson graduated from the master's program in Organ Performance at the University of Iowa.
Interests: Hudson's hobbies include cooking, listening to music, and biking. Luke Overton
Director of Music 
Statement: I am honored to be able to use my gifts to help provide the musical portion of our weekly worship services. Music has always been an incredibly important part of the worship experience for me, and I look forward to helping provide that for the congregation at First Congregational UCC!
Interests: I enjoy biking, fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy opportunities to see and work with live music and community theatre here in the Cedar Valley! |
Statement: It brings me great joy to be a part of the FCUCC team! I am a Cleveland native that moved deeper into the midwest in 2016 to attend the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) where I studied music and psychology. At UNI, I was a part of many musical ensembles, including Orchestra and Symphonic Band on oboe, as well as the Panther Marching Band on the drumline. I was also a carillonneur up in the campanile! I spent my summers in college working at various camps and serving a variety of roles, but my favorite was being the Adventure Coordinator, where I got to belay people up rock walls, send people down ziplines, challenge people in team building exercises, and teach about the magic of the growth zone! On top of being the Youth Director, I am also a student at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities obtaining my Master of Divinity in Social Transformation.
Interests: Spending time with my husband, Seth, and our two kitties, Llewy and Finny, crafts of all shapes and sizes, reading, playing board games. I drink lots of tea and decaf coffee and will eat virtually anything with caramel in it! Kyle Lindaman
