Faith frank
facilities director
I have been a member of Lenape Valley Church for about 46 years. I am married to Jim Frank, and we have three adult children and two grandchildren.

I strive to keep the church orderly and welcoming for all who walk through our doors.
In addition to my role as Building Manager, I am involved in the Prayer Blanket Ministry, Caring for Friends Meal Ministry, and attend the Property Committee meetings. It is a joy to serve alongside my Lenape Valley family!
