Huntington First Church of the Nazarene celebrated its 100th anniversary in May.
While it was a time to reflect on the church’s century in operation, it was also a time to look forward and envision the church’s future.
A willingness to do that isn’t unique to the church as it presently stands; it’s something its leadership and congregation have been doing since its founding. And that embrace of forward thinking is one of the biggest reasons why the church has reached such a big milestone.
Kay Schwob, the director of development at Huntington University, has been named the 2019 Huntington University Staff Member of the Year.
Schwob is well known in the Huntington community for her activity as a Rotarian, her dedication as a member of Tri Kappa and for her involvement with Love INC.
“Kay is a true example of what it means to be a Forester,” said Stephen Weingart, vice president for university advancement. “She excels at everything she tackles. She played a major role in helping me get up to speed and learn what it means to be a Forester.”
