Khaleigh Laicher: Director of Regional Youth MinistryHello! My name is Khaleigh (“kay-lee”) Laicher, and I am honored to be the new Director of Regional Youth Ministry at 2CC. Second Congregational Church is a founding partner in what we are calling this new endeavor in the Greenwich area. Our collective prayer is that we are able to create a space where our youth feel both seen and heard. Our dream is to provide students with the experiences, tools, and resources needed to actively live out one's faith! I have been working in Faith Formation since 2017, and LOVE my calling to ministry in the local church. My wife (who goes by Julie) and I moved to Greenwich with our 5-year-old Rat Terrier named Ollie, our 15-year-old Calico named Temperance, and our nearly one-year-old kitten named Daphne!
