Rev. Jen Dunfee joined the Lewinsville staff on April 1, 2019, as a Care Minister. In June of 2024 she became head of Christian Education at Lewinsville. Jen first became connected to Lewinsville Presbyterian through the pre-Covid softball team, the “Lewinsville Sluggers.” Jen has been a minister member of this Presbytery since 2007, serving the Clifton Presbyterian Church as the associate pastor for youth and families and as the Chaplain of the National Presbyterian School.
Jen has a dual career as an educator; in addition to school chaplaincy, Jen has spent nearly 10 years teaching ethics and service in area private schools.
All three of Jen’s high school and college-aged children: Acadia, Tommy and Anabel, were confirmed at Lewinsville Presbyterian.
Jen feels called to help families connect the stories of the Bible to their everyday experience growing up in the unique pressures of Northern Virginia. Helping kids see themselves as uniquely created, unconditionally loved, and called to serve is at the heart of her ministry. Jen also oversees family ministry and adult education. She brings her experience in school settings to organizing a varied Christian Education program grounded in Bible study, theological reflection and spiritual practices.
Jen is a graduate of Duke University and Yale Divinity School. She grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and loves to talk about New Jersey bands and going to concerts. Jen and her family live on the campus of The Madeira School, where Andrew is the Director of the Co-Curriculum.
