Newly Elected Council and Nominating Committee Members

Lindsay Notwell

Council Vice-Chair

Term: 3-Year

Years Attending UALC: 10

Spouse: Mary • Children: Jim, Alex

Campus: Lytham Road

My Prayer for UALC: It is my prayer that UALC can continue to thrive as an Oasis of God’s kingdom, sharing the love of Jesus at both of our campuses, nourishing the faith of our existing members and attracting new ones into His fold.

I’d like you to know this about me: I am a lifelong Lutheran as is my wife, Mary, whom I married over 40 years ago. We have two married sons and one grandson on the West coast. I retired at the end of 2023 from a career in technology, and enjoy traveling (for fun and babysitting, not for work anymore), photography, and fly fishing.

Dan Like

Spouse: Lindsay • Children: Jack, Lauren

Campus: Mill Run

My Prayer for UALC: I pray that God continues to bless and guide us all to be a source of love and light for each other and our community that we have the privilege to serve.

I’d like you to know this about me: UALC has been the foundation and a source of so much love and guidance for me and my family for nearly 30 years. I have witnessed what God and UALC have done for my mother, my children and Lindsay and me through the difficult and joyful times. It is a true honor and an answer to a prayer to have an opportunity to give back to UALC that has and continues to give so much to me, Lindsay, Jack, and Lauren.

Taylor McClintock

Council Member

Term: 1-year

Years Attending UALC: 10

Spouse: Jack McClintock • Child: Thomas John

Campus: Both!

My Prayer for UALC: I pray that we embrace loving our neighbor so boldly and compassionately that they would encounter God and the living water he has to offer them.

I’d like you to know this about me: Since coming to know and love Jesus in 2013, UALC has been a formative part of my walk with Christ. I met my ambitious equal, Jack McClintock, and married him at Lytham Road in 2014. We've been pursuing passion projects and businesses together ever since, including GP Creative, Thread Media House, and various other endeavors, on mission to inspire and equip deeper connections. I am a writer, traveler, reader, and mother of a lively toddler who would LOVE to meet you and be your friend.
