PROGRAM COORDINATOR

After an intense early adulthood career as a freelance cellist and music educator, Ruthie "Wilde" Wenger ("Ruthie Wilde" is her music stage name) is shifting her focus to the home as a prospective parent and wife to Brad Garner, engaging in ministry-motivated projects as time allows. She brings to UUI nearly two decades of experience as a performing musician and educator, and was one of the beta-testing students in UUI's inaugural Teacher Education Program.

Ruthie began studying The Urantia Book about 10 years ago, after a lifetime of exposure and engagement with Urantia Book readers due to her parents. She currently serves as President of the Grand Canyon Society of Urantia Book Readers, a General Councilor of the Urantia Book Fellowship, Chair of Urantia Family Life, and she co-produces the “Our Merried Life” podcast with her husband as a part of Symmetry of Soul.
