Lynn Longfield, General Presbyter
If you were to ask Rev. Lynn Longfield if she liked her “job” as General Presbyter she would hesitate. Job? Like? For her, being G.P. is about call, about caring for pastors, about loving congregations, and about partnering with others in the Presbytery to strengthen congregations for the good work of sharing Christ’s love with the world. Sometimes that is a joy and sometimes a struggle. A better question would be “Have you been blessed in this calling?” The answer would be an unequivocal “YES!”
Besides being G.P., Lynn is mom to two grown sons, as well as daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, gardener and yoga enthusiast.

Tammy Stampfli, Stated Clerk
Tammy was raised in the church by very active Southern Baptist parents. Because her father was a member of the military, the family moved often. In middle school Tammy’s parents stopped going to church so she went to the closest church she could walk to, a Presbyterian Church. Eventually she met her husband Tim at that church. After they both finished under graduate degrees in Psychology, they served as Volunteers In Mission with the Presbyterian Church. Answering a call to full time parish ministry, Tammy enrolled in San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo in 1986. After graduating in 1990, Tammy and her family: Tim, son Nicholas, and daughter Megan moved to Oregon. She has served churches in Oregon, Washington and California as Pastor and Associate Pastor. Tammy received her Doctor of Ministry from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA in 2007. Tammy’s family now includes a wonderful son-in-law, Javier and lovely daughter-in-law, Maryann. Both families are expecting children in the new year. She is honored and delighted to have the opportunity to serve The United Churches as their Interim Pastor and is equally excited about serving as Interim Stated Clerk for the Presbytery of Olympia!
