Laura Anderson
Director of Ministry Engagement
Plymouth Covenant Church
Plymouth MN
Laura is married to Jay. They are parents to Ellie, a senior at UNL, and Grant a graduating high school senior currently playing hockey for the Omaha Lancers.
Laura spent her early career here in Omaha as an elementary teacher and guidance counselor in both Omaha and Millard Public Schools, before becoming a children’s ministry director.
After her family's move to Minnesota she continued working as a teacher and children’s ministry director. An opportunity to work with volunteers and helping assimilate newcomers came along at Plymouth Covenant. She currently works full time in Ministry Engagement.
As a full-time employee, she has the benefit of participating on mission trips to the global mission sites that partner with Plymouth Covenant. After many years of saying “no” to traveling to a country that is less developed, on the other side of the globe, and completely different than any culture she had been exposed to, she decided to join the Light of Hope team and travel to Kenya. Laura left a piece of her heart at Light of Hope home and school for girls. She looks forward to making many trips back and providing much support to Light of Hope!
Laura is Peggy and Gail Stalder's daughter
