Lori Ruff- Schmalenberger is a ruling elder in the PCUSA, currently serving on the New Worshiping Communities Network Team of the Presbytery of Los Ranchos. Professionally, she has been the Director of Children’s Ministries at Tustin Presbyterian Church for nearly a decade.

She received her BA in Psychology from Whitworth College; her Master of Arts in Theology and Marriage and Family from Fuller Theological Seminary; and her M.Div. and D.Min. from San Francisco Theological Seminary. She finds that the best education at times comes from attending to one’s life journey.
