Tamara Park Walters - Lay Pastor for Engagement

Tamara Park Walters is overjoyed to journey with the Westminster community. She revels in coming alongside others—to encourage authentic and vibrant relationships with God, each other and the broader world. So, she’s very grateful to get to focus on spiritual formation, community-building and service here at WPC. 


She’s energized by hearing people stories, traveling and being in nature…and she loves a good dance party in the kitchen and nerding out on neuroscience. She is newly married to Jamie Walters and is discovering what it means to be a bonus mom to four incredible young people. 


She looks forward to getting to know you more—and would be delighted to have coffee, lunch or a walk with you soon!
