Rev. Susan Kramer-Mills

Executive Director

Susan Kramer-Mills, Executive Director, has been working with our organization since its inception. As the co-pastor of the First Reformed Church, New Brunswick, Rev. Susan chaired the committee, which began to investigate “how to use the buildings of the church” with greater missional purpose. After several years of discussion and investigations, the Town Clock CDC was founded. Rev. Susan was instrumental in the process, as well as leading the construction changes, interviewing the residents, and setting up the programming. Dina’s Dwellings was completed in April 2016.

Rev. Susan has had an unusual history. After graduating from seminary, she worked as a registrar and campus chaplain for Naumburg Seminary, located in the former eastern Germany. She also served several years in various yoked congregations in that region. In 1998, she received a call as Associate Pastor to Trinity Presbyterian Church in East Brunswick, New Jersey. She served in that position until 2000, when she and her husband accepted a call as co-pastors to First Reformed Church in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

In April 2004, Rev. Susan began working part-time as the Executive Minister to the Classis of New Brunswick, which requires her to visit RCA churches in the region, helping them with issues and visioning. She continues in this position still to this day. Rev. Susan has served civically as a Girl Scout leader and serves on various non-profit boards in New Brunswick.

Kelly Harper-Edwards
Case Manager

Kelly Harper-Edwards is the new case manager at Town Clock CDC, where her main goal is to teach the residents the strength in gaining control and becoming independent. Victims of domestic violence are often so controlled by their abuser that they lose a sense of identity. As a case manager, Kelly’s major focus is assisting survivors with identifying who they are on they are own terms and then giving them resources to rebuild their lives by taking their control back.

Kelly has worked in the field of social services for 7 years and is a recent graduate of Kean University where she majored in Psychology with a concentration in Family Studies. She has experience working with children and families, mental health and homeless population, individuals with substance abuse disorders, and victims of domestic violence. In her spare time, Kelly loves spending time with her family and working on her business.

Favorite Quote: “Revenge is surviving, getting out, and being a better person than you were and breaking the cycle.” - Kristy Green, a survivor at the M3ND Project.
