The Rev. Jane Gober (she/her)

Rector
(610) 521-1626 EXT: 22 |

You can call me Reverend Jane.

Jane began her ministry at Christ Church in the fall of 2019, and is delighted to accompany people in their discipleship journey. Jane is the daughter of Army officers and has lived in either 15 or 16 states (depending on how you count), and West Germany. She graduated from the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss!) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education, and a minor is Sociology. In 2003 she received her Masters of Divinity from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California, where she focused on Practical Theology and Adult Formation.

Before and after seminary, and before ordination, she served for over 20 years in the Episcopal Church in lifelong formation and ministry with young people. Jane was ordained in the best wine country anywhere, Walla Walla, Washington (Diocese of Spokane). Currently she serves with the Diocese of Pennsylvania on the Board of Trustees, Serviam leadership committee, and is an alternate deputy for General Convention. She has three cats: Glory, Poppy, and Molly, and enjoys visiting breweries with friends, reading and writing at coffee shops, and consuming both a gluttony of baseball (college and the Oakland Athletics), and soccer (USWNT and the Philadelphia Union). A book lover, book jacket reviews of Reverend Jane would say things like: inventive, erudite, genuine, ‘gets stuff done’, and ‘the most interesting church lady I have ever met.’
