Our Elders

She serves in The Grateful Garment Project, a non-profit organization for victims of sexual violence, where she raises awareness and support by sharing their mission with community groups. Rev. McClelland holds baccalaureate and graduate degrees from San Jose State University in Political Science and International Relations and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary.
