Claire Cottrill serves as the pastor of LifeSpring, where she is passionate about whole-life discipleship — helping people surrender every part of themselves to Jesus and experience the fullness of his life, love, power, and transformation in their everyday lives. She loves studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture and considers it a joy to walk alongside others as they grow in faith together.
 
Claire has been a member of LifeSpring since it first began in 2007. Before stepping into vocational ministry, Claire worked as a pediatric speech-language pathologist. She is currently pursuing her Master of Divinity at Palmer Theological Seminary.
 
At LifeSpring, Claire feels right at home among a church family that’s loving, generous, and fun — a community always ready to welcome new faces and serve their community. Known for her passionate personality, deep love for Jesus & people, and commitment to fun, she lives by the motto: “Work hard, pray hard, rest hard, play hard.”

Outside of the church and seminary, you’ll likely find Claire spending time with her family and friends, exercising, playing pickleball, reading, or traveling. Ministry’s her calling, pink’s her color, and joy’s her vibe.
