Kim Lucci-Office Administrator (admin@lvpc.net)

  • Kim became our church office administrator in 2019. She is married to Frank and the mom of two beautiful girls. Her experience related to her current position garnered her a volunteer for 2+ years in the non-profit sector with a ministry in the Lehigh Valley of PA as administrator, personal aid & mission’s front desk operator. Her valued service applied a level of decorum to the face of the ministry & the people she served. At the time of her departure, the ministry closed to move on to greater things and so Kim then gained a position as front desk liaison for a marketing and media firm in the Lehigh Valley. From there she relocated to Asbury, NJ & Kim has been with LVPC ever since! Kim is the upbeat & helpful one answering the phone and addressing any concerns or questions. Kim was raised in Hackettstown and attended Hackettstown High School. Kim loves her job & the people she serves in Long Valley are not just passerby’s— but family!

Kim is our office & communications manager
