DeLyn Celec grew up in Tucson, Arizona. She and her spouse of nine years, Sarah, moved to Winchester in 2008 so DeLyn could become the Worship Arts Coordinator at Shenandoah University. The title of Campus Minister has since been added following her ordination as clergy in 2011 through the social-justice-focused Church Within A Church Movement. DeLyn has been working in music and worship arts since she was in high school, formalizing her education in 2008 by obtaining her Master of Divinity from Drew Theological School in Madison, New Jersey. Her studies at Drew included a focus on power and privilege along with worship arts, which led to a passion for worshiping together to experience reflection on our life-renewing relationships with God and neighbor, education in social justice, and inspiration to celebrate diversity. Sarah and DeLyn added three children to their home in 2014 and the whole family has enjoyed a warm welcome when we have worshiped with the community at Christ Church.
