University Presbyterian Church - Chapel Hill, NC

Phyllis Koehnline

PHYLLIS KOEHNLINE first came to Chapel Hill as a student at UNC where she met her husband, Bill.  After raising two daughters and a son, and after years of involvement in the life of communities and churches where the family lived and worshipped, Phyllis enrolled in McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.  After graduating, she was ordained and called to be pastor of the Evanshire Presbyterian Church in Skokie, Illinois, where she faithfully served for almost twenty years before returning to Chapel Hill.  Here she served briefly as interim associate pastor during the summers of 1998 and 1999, and these and other services led to the Session's naming her Parish Associate in 2003.
