    • Director of Children’s Ministries
      • May 2023 - Present

      As my first experience working full-time in ministry after several years in public relations and higher education, this role offers the chance to grow with a team of incredible leaders, design programming which supports the full belonging of kids in the church, and walk alongside families through their children’s spiritual development. This job includes curriculum planning, coordinating dozens of volunteers of all ages, ensuring safe sanctuaries protocol is honored, and preaching—both to kids and adults. Through the work at Decatur First UMC, I hope to better understand the ways those disengaged from church might be invited to dream, wonder, and play again. I fully believe children are some of our best teachers as they ask brave questions about God and themselves. Show less
