Megan has joined the Grant Park Dwell house and is part of the Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) program of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Megan is from Erie, Pennsylvania and just graduated from Penn State. Megan says that she is interested in living in intentional Christian community for several reasons. “Living in community allows you to grow as an individual. When living with other people you are often forced to examine aspects of yourself that are selfish or unloving. Whether this examination occurs as part of a disagreement or differing opinions, you are given the opportunity to see another perspective and learn more about that person. Living in intentional Christian community also provides a supportive environment in which to go through a new experience. It is comforting to know that as I live in a new city and start a new job, I would share that experience with other people in the same situation. By living in intentional Christian community we would be able to encourage one another and share insights so as to enrich one another’s experience." Megan will be serving with DOOR as the coordinator of our Spring and Summer Mission Trip program.
