We are excited to share that Olivia Taylor-Garcia has joined our staff team as our new Facilities Manager! Get to know Olivia by reading a little bit about her below.

What first brought you to Veritas?
I was brought to Veritas almost 6 years ago by a neighbor who invited me. I had never attended church before and I didn’t grow up religious. At the time, they were preaching through Exodus and it seemed as though God was speaking directly into my life and I’ve been coming here ever since.

Tell us about your role at Veritas.
Here at Veritas, I am a facilities manager. So I get to serve and care for the church by way of maintaining the building and executing projects. It’s a new role that I am new to and I’m excited to see what this position grows to mean in time. I also serve on the Livestream team.

What are some of your hobbies?
Some hobbies I enjoy are taking walks, journaling, spending time with my family and making art. I have a dog (Ophelia) and four cats (Wednesday, Calvin, River, and Shiloh). I also love football and am a big Eagles fan.

What’s your favorite beverage?
My favorite beverage is water with lemon in it. Which I know sounds boring but I don’t like much else.

What is the last fiction book that you read?
The last fiction book I read is The Godfather by Mario Puzo. In the last year I also enjoyed The Color Purple by Alice Walker and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Im currently reading The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin and True Grit by Charles Portis. I also enjoy nonfiction and autobiographies as well.
