Who's Who at BCMM

Elsie Nicolette, Executive Director

As Executive Director of Burlington Center Mall Ministry, Elsie Nicolette draws upon previous work experience as a writer, editor and teacher. Her passion for initiating outreach ministry also helped begin Today's Christian Woman magazine and a drama ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Holly.  God keeps taking Elsie outside her comfort zone; the most recent challenge has been preparing to become a separate non-profit organization.  Read her report From the Battlefield.

Elsie is a graduate of Ursinus College and Wheaton Graduate School. Both Elsie and her husband Paul are elders at First Presbyterian. The Nicolette family also includes two adult children Sara and Tim. Elsie enjoys walking, playing with words, viewing drama, and traveling.

Kara Edwards, Executive Assistant

A 2003 mission trip to support widows in genocide-ravaged Rwanda was a life-changing experience for our Executive Assistant. God gave Kara Edwards a clearer vision of who He created her to be—and ultimately led her to this position at the Mall Ministry. A Heart for Missions tells of her travels in faith.

A lover of music, Kara has advised youth and children’s choirs for 15 years. Presently, she attends First Baptist Church of Mount Holly. Listening carefully to lyrics as well as sermons, she strives to discern their faithfulness to God’s Word, the Bible. Kara holds engineering degrees from Princeton and Drexel Universities. She is the beaming aunt of Marcellus, Jasmine, Ryan, Chloe, Kayla, and Cameryn. Kara enjoys playing tennis, classical and jazz piano and, most recently, the organ. Her musical tastes range from Parliament Funkadelic and Chicago to Tchaikovsky and Handel.
