Mary Kate Buchanan

Minister of Pastoral Care

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Furman University in South Carolina then followed a call to continue her studies at Princeton Theological Seminary where I received my Master of Divinity in May 2019. I was ordained in June 2019 at my home church in Hudson, Ohio in the same month that I was called to serve as one of the Associate Ministers at Plymouth UCC in Des Moines, IA. While I enjoyed my time in the South, North East, and Midwest, I am glad to come back home to Ohio. 

Besides my passion of pastoral care, I enjoy baking, a newfound love of urban gardening, reading in the sunshine (with sunscreen!), and spending time with my cat named Princie and sweet dog named CC (Cookies and Cream). While I have many passions, my passion for frogs and the color pink are most notable!
