Mrs. Judy Finnessy - “Why Are Our Young People Leaving

the Church and What Can We Do About It?”

Judy Finnessy is a “grandma grizzly” when it comes to teaching our children how

to defend their faith. (She has three grown children, and six grandchildren.) She

holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Accounting. Judy has spent over forty

years holding various positions in IT Architecture and Project Management with

John Deere, and now that she has retired, has devoted herself to studying

creation apologetics and its impact on the faith of our children. For the past

year, she has been intensely involved in creation apologetics, culminating in a

week-long Creation Apologetics Teachers College taught by Creation Training

Initiative. She has also been facilitating a small group study of Genesis 1-11.

Judy is a member of Ascension Lutheran Church in Littleton. She is involved in

Lutherans for Life, Denver, and serves as Secretary. She has a love for Christian

music and serves as the music director and pianist for the Tin Cup Community

Chapel during the summer months. She is also involved with Love INC, Littleton.
