Margaret Lane

**EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATOR**

Margaret joined Resurrection after moving to Charlotte in 2010. Her sister and brother-in-law were members, so a visit was compulsory. But it was the Spirit that made Resurrection home. Being a part of the family of believers at Resurrection provides support and encouragement to become more like Jesus every day. Since joining, Margaret has served in several ways but most recently on the Church Council as the Chairman. Since moving to Charlotte Margaret enjoys spending time exploring the rich history of the south and sharing these adventures with her family. Margaret and her sister Christa live together in Charlotte and enjoy, mostly, the shenanigans of their dog Ruben and cat Cleo.
