Iveta Berzinch

Iveta was born and grew up in Latvia, which was part of the USSR. She had no knowledge of God until her late teen years. She studied medicine in Latvia and came to the United States in 1990, where she began attending a Latvian church in the Chicagoland area. Subsequently, her work took her to Waycross, Georgia where she practiced pediatrics for 17 years.



After relocating back to the Chicagoland area, Iveta placed her faith in Christ in 2017. Reading and studying God’s Word and listening to sermons became a source of great joy for her. In 2018, Iveta was led to The Orchard Itasca where she was baptized in the Fall; becoming a member in 2019. She is also an active LIFE Group participant.

Iveta has served as a volunteer at special events, in women’s ministries, the nursery and as a table leader at the Wednesday evening LIFE Group. She also serves in Orchard Kids as a teacher in the preschool class and for the Parents’ Night Out monthly ministry. Additionally, she recently became a LIFE Group leader.
