What is most exciting to you about ministering at Conejo Church? Jeremy and I have been members of this church for 21 years, so stepping into this interim role feels like a natural way to serve and give back to a ministry that has given my boys so much over the years. I am looking forward to coming alongside the families to create a ministry that inspires a deep love for God in the hearts of our children and builds a strong bond between the children and their church family.
What has drawn you to ministry? I taught Kindergarten and First Grade for 11 years prior to becoming a Mom, dedicating all of my time and energy to educating young minds. As a mom now for the past 16 years, I have developed a deep passion for the sacred job of shepherding a child’s heart and soul. Children’s Ministry offers a beautiful intersection of these talents.
