Sue McCurdy and her family have lived in Elmhurst for 28 years.  Her husband, Dave, is an ordained minister and is an Ethicist for a local hospital system. Their daughter, Margaret (24) is in graduate school studying micro-biology and their son, Doug, (18) is a senior in high school. 

Sue graduated from Elmhurst College with a degree in Christian education. 

During the last 28 years, Sue has been the Coordinator of Children’s Ministries at three churches:  Southminster Presbyterian Church in Arlington Heights, Berkeley-Hillside Presbyterian Church, and Elmhurst Presbyterian Church.  

Sue’s vision for the Christian education ministry at EPC is to have at its core the message of God’s love.  Her goal is to offer a program that gives children hope, ways to live peacefully with others, ways they can learn the stories from the Bible in a fun, creative, and meaningful way and a place where they learn ways to build their relationship with God.   And, she is working to make church a place where children look forward to coming, enjoy being, want to tell their friends about, and invite their friends to come.

A former “professional” dog walker, Sue and her family’s home are filled with all kinds of pets.  And, she likes to knit, sew, travel, and spend time with her family.
