 Pastor  - Nanette Cagney
Nanette Cagney was born in Norfolk, Virginia, into a career military family.  Her father was in the Navy, so she lived in several states growing up including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Hawaii, Virginia and South Carolina.  She attended College of Charleston, in Charleston, South Carolina, and transferred her junior year to Loyola University, New Orleans.  She graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work and worked primarily in psychiatric social work.  Nanette worked with emotionally disturbed adolescents through Catholic Charities in New Orleans, and in the VA psychiatric hospital in Gulfport, Mississippi.  She also worked for the welfare department in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
      Wanting to further her education, she attended Tulane law school and graduated in 1982.  She worked in the oil industry and then had a small law firm in Lafayette, Louisiana, before moving to Lake Charles in 1991 to work in the federal court. 
      Nanette was first licensed to preach in another denomination in 1982.  She began doing pulpit supply in the PCUSA in 2001.  She was ordained as a Ruling Elder in 2006. After 3 years of study, Nanette became a commissioned ruling elder through Dubuque Theological Seminary.  Nanette served unofficially as the pastor of St. Andrew since June, 2006.
      Although an attorney trained in the law, Nanette believes in God’s abundant grace. She believes that one of the best experiences for anyone is the realization of the place and power of grace in each life.  ​
