Gabrielle Fritz
Office Manager
Gabrielle has a heart for ministry, a passion for serving the Lord, and loves being "involved" in the many parts of ministry at HermNaz. Gabrielle is also a part of the worship/tech team and is probably who you see taking photos of our events and services. She graduated with a Certificate of Business and Entrepreneurship and finds these skills helpful in the HermNaz Office.
