Meet the Coaches!
Welcome friends! I bet you found your way here because you love family ministry or care for someone who loves family ministry. A little bit about me, I have served in Kids Ministry for almost 15 years. I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to Colorado as a young adult. Growing up in the church, I knew from a young age that God was calling me into Kids & Family Ministry. I graduated from Colorado Christian University with a degree in Communications and a minor in Psychology with an emphasis on Family & Child. Over the years, I have served in a staff role at a handful of churches and experienced everything from a church plant to multi-site congregations and from set up and tear down to big budget renovations. I have served alongside volunteer teams of 50 people to 200+ people and I can surprisingly say, led a kids ministry through a global pandemic!

Kids Ministry Circle launched in Fall of 2021 out of a desire to help equip and encourage kids ministry leaders and build a community for leaders to build each other up rather than compete against one another. It has grown into being a space for the entire Next Gen Ministry Staff and we are confident that ministry is not meant to be done alone. My hope is that this can be a space for ministry leaders to come link arms with other ministry leaders, feel encouraged, prayed for, have space to learn and grow and then go and serve their communities.
