How We Met!


Our LifeKeys journey together began back in 1992 at Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina. Dave, then adult education pastor, taught a class on spiritual gifts. He asked for help in designing new materials. Jane signed up, thinking she could write accompanying Bible studies. David then learned that a human resources consultant, Sandra Hirsh, lived in the area. When he approached Sandra, she was delighted to offer the knowledge she'd gained through designing corporate career seminars to our planning. What started as a simple class to help people find fulfilling volunteer work has turned into something more: God seems to have pulled our team together to help people discover all God created them to be.
