I spent my growing up years in the greater Seattle area and graduated from the University of Washington. My family and I lived over decade on the East Coast, while I pursued my Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and served churches in New Jersey and New York. In 2018, God led me to accept a pastoral call here in the Tri-Cities, bringing me and my family back to the Northwest.

The biggest influences on my spiritual journey and pastoral call come from a variety of experiences. Early on, I worked in the corporate world. Willing and faithful mentors helped me grow my sense of administration and capacity to motivate people to work together for the bigger goal. My husband and I also spent a year in Sydney, Australia. We joined L’Arche, a faith-based organization that calls people to share life with adults with developmental disabilities. We lived in intentional Christian community. And it was in that experience foremost that God began to shape me for a particular calling to walk with believers as they journey in faith and commit to life together.

These experiences and insights came together for me in my decision to attend seminary, where I was able to deepen my knowledge, test out my calling, and begin the path toward ordination. Since then, I have had the privilege of serving the local church and ministering alongside countless people who have inspired me, guided me, challenged me, and deepened my faith and call.

My husband James enjoys running and anything “outdoors.” My son Max and daughter Lu keep us active and playful. For rest and relaxation, we love hanging out with family, cooking up something yummy, and traveling.

Although I have lived in the Tri-Cities since 2003, I still consider myself a Montana native. I grew up in Montana and graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Work in the secular world took me to different cities in Montana as well as stops in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho.

Life circumstances brought me to MSPC in the fall of 2004. I met my wife Willie here at MSPC and we were married in March of 2008. Together we have embarked on a wonderful spiritual journey together.

My quest for continual knowledge of how God works in my life, led me to pursue a Masters in Theological Studies from the University of Northwester-St. Paul. Opportunity then presented itself with the ability to complete the Masters in Biblical Studies program from Colorado Christian University. This continued education has given me the ability to teach Christian education classes here at MSPC, and on April 3, 2022, I became a Commissioned Lay Pastor for the Presbyterian Church, answering the call to serve here at MSPC and the Northwest Presbytery.

Wille and I spend spirited time with our two Boxers dogs—Serengeti and Fjord. When Willie is not off playing tennis somewhere, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen, we love to travel and explore the wonderful world that God created.

My name is Cindy Siekawitch. I was born and raised in Washington State and have lived in the Tri-Cities since 1995. My relationship with Jesus has been a steady source of strength and guidance through life’s many joys and challenges and I have found fulfillment in serving Christ wherever He calls me.

For more than 13 years, I have served as a church administrative assistant. Over time, I discovered that my particular calling is behind the scenes. I truly believe one of the greatest ways I can serve the church is by supporting the pastor and leadership, allowing them to focus fully on caring for the congregation.

Family is one of my greatest blessings. I am the proud mom of two sons, a very happy grandmother of five grandchildren and dog mom to two energetic dogs who keep life interesting. I love spending time with my husband and family – especially game nights (where things can get a little competitive) and traveling together whenever we can. I’m a big football fan, and rarely turn down a good round of trivia.

It is a true joy to serve this church community and to play a small part in the larger work God is doing here.

My name is Brocton Watts. I was born and raised in the Tri-Cities and have lived here all my life. The Lord saved me in 2017 during my high school years, and by His grace, I have desired to serve Him ever since. I felt a strong calling to serve my church in any way I could. I became a youth leader for my church and led a small group of high schoolers for a few years. I’ve been a content creator on Twitch for 3 years. During that time, I’ve gained experience working with audio and visual systems, live-streaming, and other technical aspects of social media. I’ve been wanting to use the skills I’ve picked up from Twitch to spread the word of God to more people. I’m very excited to be given this opportunity to use what I’ve learned for a greater purpose.

Outside of church and work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, 2 cats, and dog. I am grateful for the encouragement and support they provide, and I strive to honor the Lord in both my personal life and service. I look forward to continuing to serve faithfully and helping ensure that MSPC can reach as many people as possible. ‍
