Favorite Bible Quote: "... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Marilyn Eisele lives in Shaker Heights with her husband Mark and they have three teenage children: one in college and two in high school. She and Mark "became Presbyterians" 20 years ago when they were looking for a church and Mark stated that it had to be "convenient." Since Fairmount Presbyterian Church was the closest church to their then-Cleveland Heights home, they became Presbyterians and have loved their FPC family and have been active members at the church ever since. They began serving in the Toddler Room when their own kids were young, and just kept moving along the various grade levels as their kids grew up. Marilyn has a passion for working with middle schoolers and has co-led Breakfast Club and God Squad for over 6 years, and is working with the senior high confirmation class and youth groups this year. She is the "unofficial photographer" of FPC and her camera is a permanently at her side. Marilyn is the Chief Financial Officer of Five Star Technologies, Inc., a rapidly growing advanced electronic materials company in Cleveland.

Favorite Bible quote: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, Here am I. Send me!"

Cristina grew up in Greenwich, CT where she attended a Catholic girls school for 8 years before going away to boarding school in New Hampshire at Phillips Exeter Academy. After graduation, she attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy for a year and a half, pursuing a degree in Marine Transportation but decided that a full time life of being out on the ocean wasn't for her so she transferred to CWRU in January of 2004 where she majored in Political Science and minored in Economics.

After graduating from CWRU, she joined City Year, a national non-profit service organization and partner with Americorps for youth ages 17-24.  Cristina served as a full-time corps member in Cleveland at Lincoln West High School as a tutor and mentor and ran a Saturday community service program for local teenagers. She spent the summer on Martha's Vineyard working as a farmer-teacher at the FARM Institute, a non-profit teaching farm, where she engaged children and their families in sustainable agriculture and helped out with various farm chores. In the future, she hopes to continue to work in the non-profit spector, specifically with youth, and live a life of service to others.

I am from Cleveland… I joined Fairmount when Missy and I moved to Cleveland. She was working at different churches within the Presbytery and we wanted our children to grow up at Fairmount. Our kids, Asa and Nonie are both living in New York now. I run a company in Chardon and live in Gates Mills.
