Administrative Assistant / Secretary – Laureen Griffin
A note from Laureen
Hello! My name is Laureen Griffin. I am a transplant to Oklahoma by way of Maryland and Texas (and by the way Oklahoma wins for best sunsets of everywhere I’ve lived). I worked in Dallas as an Administrative Assistant for several years and after moving to OK I worked for First United Bank.
Treasurer – Carol Peshehonoff
A note from Carol
Greetings! I am Carol Peshehonoff, the new treasurer for FPC of Ada and have been a member for the past 15 years. I am also employed fulltime at East Central University as the Administrative Assistant for the Department of Professional Programs in Human Services. I was born and raised in Tulsa, graduated from Tulsa Central High School, and have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Northeastern State University. Prior to moving to Ada from Southern California in the summer of 1999, I was the accounting manager for a post-production company in Hollywood (I never have gotten around to doing the social work thing). My husband Theo and I have one son, Joe who lives in Norman with his wife Taylor.
I look forward to serving the church and the congregation in the role of church treasurer. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need assistance.

My name is Karah Thompson. I was born in Ada, and I graduated from Ada High School. I was baptized here at First Presbyterian Church when I was 5 days old, at Christmas Eve service, and confirmed at age 12. I am in my 15th year serving as sexton/custodian at FPC. I am a proud member of this church and I invite my neighbors to come experience church here!
