  • Pastor Cyndi McDonald, PhD

    I grew up in Georgia, and met my husband Ed while we were both at Georgia Tech. We have two sons, in Gospel order, Matt and Mark. Matt and his wife Cynthia live in Kansas City, MO; Mark lives in New York.

    For about ten years, I taught investments and portfolio management at Louisiana State University and at the University of Missouri. Essentially, I told stories about how the markets work and how to tease financial stories out of company reports. I'm still telling stories, but now they are some of the most amazing stories of all... of a God who loves us, and will do anything to be in relationship with us.
