  • Name: Gwen Kochan

  • Birthday: December 28
  • Family: Matt (wonderful husband of 13 years), Taylor (10 year old son), Reed (8 year old son), Koda (our 3rd child black lab), Butterscotch (our sweet guinea pig that purrs)
  • My Ministry Calling: To reach out and get to know people everywhere ... to learn, share and grow together.
  • What I Enjoy about Serving at Asbury: We laugh a lot. We support each other and respect our differences.
  • My Relationship with Christ: He is my Rock. With Him I have everything in my life that I need. Without Him I have nothing in my life that I need.
  • Interesting or Unusual Facts About Myself: I've lived in CT, CO, MD and WI. I'm a former marathon runner and triathlete. My favorite place is in the woods. I ride my son's dirt bike. I love furry creatures like I love people. I knit baby blankets. I love to sing in the car.
  • Favorite Movie of All Time: I don't watch many movies.
  • Favorite Type of Food: Japanese, sashimi.
  • Favorite Thing to Do on a Saturday: Bright and early, go for a walk with the family and dog followed by Matt's omelet breakfast. During the day, watch the boys play hockey, soccer, baseball or lacrosse. In the evening, have a "dining room date" with Matt and sit outside once it's dark and look at the sky.
  • Favorite Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
  • In High School I Was Most Likely to Be: At the nearest party.
  • These Days I Am Most Likely to Be: With a friend or getting to know someone better. As my 8-year-old son reminds me "Mom, you are really loquacious."
