A Remarkable Journey of Service and Dedication

With heartfelt gratitude, we honor Vanessa Woods, our lead housekeeper and a truly remarkable member of IPC’s staff. After 43 years of unwavering dedication, Vanessa will be retiring this November, leaving behind a legacy of service and commitment that has impacted many. 

Vanessa's journey with IPC began over four decades ago, taking over the housekeeping position from her mother! Throughout the years, her tireless efforts ensured that our church was always welcoming and impeccably maintained.
