2019-2020 COUNCIL MEMBERS
I have been a member of Lutheran Church of the Palms for 14 wonderful years. Being involved in the church has provided friendships that I would not otherwise have. I represent Social Ministries on the council. This team reaches out to folks in the community in need as well as support for the greater church’s programs, like Lutheran World Relief. We collect for FEAST, with a special drive for turkeys in November, backpacks and school supplies for some area elementary schools, and we collect items for the VA as well as other things through the year.

Education
Samantha Bellucci
I have lived in Pinellas County for the better part of 22 years. I was born in Kentucky. I am a Teacher at Palm Harbor Middle School. I have been a member of Lutheran Church the Palms for a little over 2 years. My family was invited by Barlow Little Palms Preschool to attend church when our little daughter was in Preschool. We quickly became members and began to serve our community. My husband Drew helps with a summer fitness day for the preschool. I am honored to become a council member specifically the Education Committee. I look forward to serving our community and growing our congregation.
Stewardship and Gift
Paul Jensen
A member since 2015, I became active in leadership mid 2017 on church council, chairperson on Stewardship and our Gift Committee. My wife Krista and I were married by Lutheran Church of the Palms clergy and chose LCoP as our church for the traditional Lutheran message. We are excited to participate with future growth at LCoP and its ministries for local and global communities.

Campus Use
When I first attended Lutheran Church of the Palms. I felt a calmness and sense of familiarity here that I had not found in other churches. I liked that people were friendly, kind and genuinely supportive. I have the honor of managing the Assisting Minister schedule and serving as one of the Assisting Ministers. On the Church Council, I am responsible for Campus Use. Matters such as insurance coverage and necessary restrictions when children are attending classes must be considered. The goal is to use our beautiful church campus to help the community.
