Tara Tremblay – Oakland associate city director

Tara is originally from Attleboro, MA and graduated in May 2008 from Newbury College bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Tara organized short-term mission trips at college for three years (Habitat for Humanity excursions). She has been involved with youth in many capacities but has mostly counseled at-risk youth and helped with after school programs that promote higher education. Tara is blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of starting the first Christian Ministry at her college. Tara enjoys fun nail polish, going out to eat, the sunshine, morning devotionals, coffee shops, laser tag, picnics and going to the gym. She has been given a heart that thrives in the city so urban ministry, which is something so important to society, comes naturally to her. “I want to share the relationship I have with God with those I encounter in the city. Since CSM does a great job bridging the gap between urban and rural communities and ministries, I think this experience will help me to bridge the gap between the East and West.”
