Kelsey Rice Bogdan

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Kelsey Rice Bogdan, a Life Together fellow from 2009-2010, has served on Life Together's staff since 2015. Kelsey is passionate about the ways in which God is calling the Church to be a prophetic voice of transformation in the 21st century, and has sought to build up that movement through a variety of young adult ministry and leadership development roles. Following her year as a fellow, Kelsey worked for nearly five more years in the Stewardship Office at her site placement, Trinity Church in the City of Boston. In addition, she was one of the founding board members of the Boston Food Justice Young Adult Volunteer program in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Kelsey’s commitment to young adult ministry began as an intern with the National Network of Presbyterian College Women in Louisville, KY.

A native of central Washington State, Kelsey holds degrees from Whitworth University and Harvard Divinity School. Kelsey is a member of First Presbyterian Church in Brookline, MA, where she has served in both congregational and regional leadership roles. She lives north of Boston with her partner and two sons. Favorite things include traveling near and far, dancing poorly to 90s pop music, and watching her son play baseball on a warm spring morning.

DIRECTOR OF TRAINING AND RECRUITMENT

Lindsey Hepler joined the Life Together staff in October 2016. She entered Life Together curious about the role of creativity and embodied practices in spiritual formation, discernment, and prophetic leadership.

Prior to Life Together, Lindsey served as a fellow with Christ Episcopal Church in Charlottesville, VA and worked at the University of Virginia (UVA) in arts-related administrative and teaching positions.

Lindsey graduated from UVA in 2009, and earned an MA from NYU’s Gallatin School for Individualized Studies in 2011.
