Lori Russ

Director of Faith Formation

Lori is a charter member of Palmetto Presbyterian Church. She has spent the last 15+ years focusing on and leading children in God’s word through music, stories and learning in an environment of fun. She has been very active here previously as a volunteer in children’s ministry, including leading Vacation Bible School for many years. Lori has also been involved with adult education at PPC. She has a true passion for the PPC community and for helping people grow more deeply rooted in their faith. 

Her role is designed to provide leadership for PPC’s ministries that nurture the Christ-centered growth of children, youth, and adults through education, fellowship, and mission, with an overall vision that includes all ages.  She will do this by working in and through volunteer teams, encouraging, supporting, accompanying, and sharing leadership.

She and her husband, Derrick, live in Mount Pleasant and have two children, Caitlin and Zach, and a granddaughter, Essie. She has a true love for her family, friends, animals and most importantly, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
