Marion Hunner, Assistant
Marion Hunner graduated from Wittenberg University (Springfield, OH) with a degree in Elementary Education. After several years in the classroom, she went on to use her teaching skills in less obvious outlets: training at an optometric practice; volunteering in her children’s school and church activities; co-leading a Girl Scout troop; and eventually becoming Children’s Ministries Director at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church (Roseville, MN) in 2010. She has been on the planning team for the last two ConNext Summits and continues to work with that group. Marion works part-time in The Ministry Lab assisting with Curren responsibilities and helping to expand and innovate our resourcing for members.
