In this episode, the women of Truth’s Table sit down with Laura Pritchard. Laura is a twenty-year veteran staff member at Madison Square Church, starting as Director of Teen Ministries, then Director of Outreach, seeking to help Madison reach out to the community, to build relationships, create collaborations and most importantly, lead people to Christ.

She now serves as Director of Multicultural Living and has participated in many of the racial reconciliation initiatives at Madison like: Come Together, Diversity Trainings, Institutes for Healing Racism, and Breakfast Club.  Laura is currently pursuing a degree in Ministry Leadership at Cornerstone University.  

As a certified anti-racism trainer/organizer since 2004, Laura has a passion for seeing the body of Christ live out the prayer that Jesus prayed in John 17, that we would be one as He and the Father are one, so that the world may see and know that God sent Jesus to save the world.  Marrying Henry Pritchard, who is from Monrovia, Liberia, in 2013 has deepened Laura’s understanding of systemic injustice globally.
