FOUNDER/ON-BOARDING CERTIFIED The Ven. Jenn McKenzie is a strategic and visionary leader known for guiding Episcopal communities through adaptive change and organizational transformation. With deep experience as a priest, consultant, and former Archdeacon in the Church of England, she brings both clarity and compassion to complex systems and relationships.

Jenn is gifted in reading both people and structures. She helps leaders see clearly, tell the truth, and take bold steps toward faithful, sustainable ministry. Her core mission—ever-deepening faith, ever-expanding love—shapes her work and presence.

She currently serves as CEO and Senior Consultant at Church Re-Imagined, an organization dedicated to strengthening leaders and transforming churches.  A Gallup StrengthsFinder top-five of Strategic, Achiever, Connectedness, Input, and Ideation reflects her deep curiosity and powerful insight.

Jenn is a creative soul, joyful truth-teller, and beach-and-mountain-loving mama of three. She thrives where courage meets compassion and possibility meets purpose.

SENIOR CONSULTANT A bold and passionate lay leader, Melissa Rau has helped churches and organizations shift their culture and live more fully into what God has called them to be and do. Specializing in church-wide strategic visioning and planning, she understands formation, discipleship, and congregational development to be some of the more essential pillars in strengthening Christian communities.

Rau has worked (or is currently working) with organizations such as Bexley Seabury Seminary, the Episcopal Church Foundation, and countless dioceses, parishes, and other faith communities throughout the Episcopal Church and beyond. One of her favorite things she gets to do is host For People with Bishop Rob Wright, a popular faith-based podcast with the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.

Her joyful outlook and abiding faith in God aren’t jaded by her perpetual state of hopeful dissatisfaction. Melissa believes the church to be the most effective vehicle for sharing the power of God’s love if only we pull ourselves together and do more of the things that matter and way less of the things that don’t.

Married in 1999, Melissa’s life-partner, Mike, is an Episcopal priest and rector at St. Mark’s in Venice, Florida. They have three young-adult children together. When she’s not working, Melissa is probably reading a book, gardening, hanging out with her family and friends, or cuddling with Francis and/or Philly—her labradoodles.

Currently based in Fairfax, VA, Augusta spends her free time gardening, cooking, drinking matcha, and being a mom to her fuzzy cat, Archer.
