Creating Relationships with God
Helping Families Grow in Faith
Beth Christie — Children’s Director

Beth’s heart is to partner with parents and families, build meaningful relationships with children, and develop a team of caring volunteers who make our children’s ministry a place where faith can grow.
Beth provides leadership, vision, and relational connection for our children’s ministry. She works to:
Beth’s desire is for every child to walk through our doors and think, “I belong here.” And for every parent to know, “My child is loved, safe, and being pointed toward Jesus.”
We believe that when we love our children well, we strengthen our families—and when we strengthen families, we strengthen our community.

Meet Beth Christie: Kids Ministry Director
Hi! My name is Beth Christie, and I am so excited to be transitioning into the role of Kid’s Ministry Director! God has given me a lifelong passion for bringing the community together, and that calling naturally extends to families, babies, and kids.
I have spent years of my life working with children, and homeschooling our son from starting in kindergarten, has deepened my love for discipleship, creativity, and Chirst-centered learning.
Stepping into this role of Kid Ministry Director feels like a continuation of what Jesus has been shaping in me for years: building a joyful, safe, community-rooted environment where families feel supported, volunteers feel connected and appreciated, and every child experiences the love of Jesus in a way that helps them grow confident in who He is, and who He has created them to be.
It is a pleasure to be on this journey with you, to serve your kids, and this community.
With Sincerity,
Beth Christie
