Gaynor Young
Church Secretary
Gaynor is from England (probably related to the Queen) and is usually the first voice that you hear on the phone. Before coming to work for the church, she worked in operations for McCarran Airport -- so she's awesome at multi-tasking. She's a huge fan of science fiction.
