Jeanette Mottl
I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin where my parents and four younger siblings still live. I grew up going to a Covenant church and attended the Solid Rock School of Discipleship after I graduated high school. I graduated from North Park University with a degree in Biblical & Theological Studies and Psychology. All throughout high school and college, I worked at various churches helping to lead worship. As well as a Worship Leader at LCC, I am also currently interim director of youth ministry at North Park Covenant Church.

He is very much concerned with fostering wholeness: physical, spiritual and relational in peoples’ lives. God’s gifts to us and his presence and strength is experienced within the community of faith which is also a gift of God’s grace.
Bruce and his wife, Merileen love to spend their spare time connecting with their eleven grandchildren in the Chicagoland area.

Debbie came to LCC looking for a work/life balance. When she is not at work, she can be found on the pickleball courts, reading a good book or quilting. She also enjoys spending time with her husband Jim and twin sons, Matthew and Anthony. Originally from California, she has made Deerfield her home for the past 29 years!! So happy to be a part of a wonderful community at Libertyville Covenant.
