Denise Crane | Leader

Ms. Denise Crane is a student of contemplative theology and an experienced businessperson. An experienced spiritual director and coach, she leads the MWF with a deep attention to each and every individual the Foundation’s work touches. Her theological stance is based on the active presence of the Holy Spirit in daily life, which she teaches in the classroom and through pilgrimage.    

Ms. Crane is a member of the Lead Team, a three-person group which collaboratively provides executive direction to the MWF. While her management responsibilities span the entire Foundation, she provides special focus to the Education team and the Mix Coworking & Kitchen team. She serves as the Secretary to the Board of Directors.

Denise is retired from a career in the telecommunications industry and can now indulge her love for finding ways to love God and love people. She lives in Southlake, TX with her husband John and feels blessed to live near her two adult children and two grandchildren.

Ms. Crane holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Virginia. She is a lay person of the United Methodist Church.
