Elaine Theurer
Council Member
Elaine is the youngest of three in her family with an age gap to benefit some only child characteristics. She is the tallest female in her family at 4’11”. She was born in Guam but grew up in the L.A. suburbs. Her relationship with Jesus started from following the rules and rituals to please God as a toddler in a conservative Filipino Catholic family to loving God in her forever family and baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1998 at New Life Church in Santa Barbara. Elaine believes we are all His workmanship in progress and won’t be perfected till He returns but until then embrace the journey of Him transforming us from His glory to His glory [Philippians1:6; 2Corinthians 3:18]. She teaches science at a local middle school but during the summer Covid closures, you can find her spending her time puppy training Baby, walking/hiking, or not at all, as she loves her solitude journaling, reading, researching, baking, resistance training, etc. at home away from the crowds.
