The Rev. LESLIE PIPER
Interim Pastor
Leslie Piper began her ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Bay City on May 1, 2018.
She was born and raised in New Orleans, LA to a family of storytellers (just ask them!) She received her Masters of Religious Education from
the Presbyterian School of Christian Education and
her Masters of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, both in Richmond.
Thereafter, she served churches in Miami Shores, FL;
Kirkwood, MO; Concord, NC; and Banner Elk, NC.
Leslie is married to the Rev. Brant Piper, and she and Brant have two children.
Emily is a teacher in Phoenix, AZ. Cameron is working on his Masters' degree in Montreal. Leslie's mother, Ruth Matherne, lives with them in their new home in Bay City. Leslie has family in the area and is delighted to have moved closer to her aunt and cousins.
