About Ministries to Students & Families

The mission of MIPC's Ministries to Students & Families is to be a touch point for 6th – 12th grade students and their families, members and non-members alike. Participants are nurtured to discover an informed and enthusiastic love of, and relationship with, Jesus Christ; and an understanding and belief in the role Christ plays in their lives, the lives of their families, and those in the world at large, so that they may enjoy and glorify God now and forever. Ministries to Students & their Families seek to be fully integrated into the congregational life of the church, actively involving students, parents, and other adults.

Lindsay Murphy

Formerly known as Harris, Lindsay is our Associate Pastor of Ministries to Students and Their Families. Lindsay has been a part of the MIPC community since 2002.  Lindsay is blessed to be working with such an amazing team this year!  Lindsay loves going on runs, coffee dates, walks and dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds! One of Lindsay’s passions is to see our young people see themselves as children of God as they serve their community and in the wider world.

Nicola Davidson

Nicola is our Ministry Coordinator and also serves as Music Associate at MIPC.  Nicola has been at MIPC for three years. As our ministry coordinator, Nicola’s attention to detail keeps her team organized and moving forward. Nicola loves basketball (especially high school hoops season!), sunshine and is always up for a good dance party!  Contrary to popular belief, she is NOT Irish but indeed fiercely proud to be Scottish.

Kait McDougal 

Kait is the youngest member of our MIPC staff but is sometimes known to dress and act like an elderly woman honoring her home town of Sequim, WA.

Kait enjoys people-watching, eating local cheese and honey, listening to NPR, making crafts, playing Yahtzee, and dog-walking.
