Who We Are | Unfinished Women

6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Philippians 1:6, NLT

Michelle Graber

Creative and curious, her eclectic wit carries through each aspect of her ministry.

Michelle Graber's educational background includes fields of marketing, leadership, and engineering, but her faves are music and writing. Her vocabulary is almost as impressive as her love for gluten free Oreos--1 row at a time!

Working toward her Ph. D. in Composition & Applied Linguistics, Michelle aspires to continue her career publishing prose, poetry, and research while she teaches English at a two-year college. Michelle has two children, Jakob and Maggie, and she’s in the market for a new puppy to cuddle with when she’s typing away in her easy chair!

Michelle is a fantastic baker, a phenomenal writer and speaker, an amazing friend, and a woman nearing the half-century mark who loves Jesus! Michelle is excited to continue building the women’s ministry through Unfinished Women and at her church (Harvest Community Church of the Nazarene) in South Dakota (and beyond) where she and Julie speak to women to inspire women to move past their imperfections with God’s help!
