Rev Julie Brock & Eva Leventer
Bringing Imagination to Our Future

This service will be held at the First Congregational Church of Detroit, 33 E. Forest Ave, Detroit, MI 48201, USA and on Zoom

We honor those who take care of our kids, and hear how the RE program has effected them this year. Come support our young ones, support a growing church with a future.

Eva Leventer is the Religious Education Director for the Detroit and Northwest churches. Eva has organized and facilitated children’s programs in places of worship for years. She grew up in Grass Lake, Michigan. She spent her childhood going to a Hindu Ashram and a Zen Buddhist Temple. She went on to direct the Buddhist peace camp that she attended as a child. She attended Earlham College and Eastern Michigan University, earning a Bachelors in Art and Visual Arts Education. In addition to teaching art, Eva has also directed camps and youth groups in Detroit with Grace in Action and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. She has also directed after school programs for the Oakland Steiner School. In 2017, Eva started attending Northwest Unitarian Universalist Church. She was a Religious Education volunteer for three years and served on the youth programs committee for one year. She lives in Ann Arbor, MI with her husband, Jamison, and her son, Yonah.
