Patty Grace | Kids Pastor
"I hope you are seeking to grow closer to the Lord today. For you Lord are good, and ready to forgive and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon you Psalms 86:5"What do I do here?
I'm here to teach and help lead children (1st - 5th grade) into a loving relationship with Christ and to equip them to serve him.
A little about Pastor Patty:
I love to garden and one of my favorite foods is tacos. Being a grandparent of 9 grandchildren my husband and I love spending time with them. From sleepovers to watching their sports activities to just hanging out, it’s all good!
I remember the day I gave my life to Jesus, and I have been a Christian for 30 years now! One of the greatest changes Jesus has made in my life was helping me live for him and not for myself. Now I find myself leading children to Christ, and I love teaching children the word of God. It is such a privilege to be a part of building and investing in the lives of the next generation.
Ashley Shannon | Little Kids Pastor
"Life is hard because we live in a world filled with sin but having a relationship with Jesus makes it easier. Have faith!! Three things I do when I'm struggling are: 1. Pray 2. Read my bible 3. Listen to an encouraging sermon (4. Stay connected!) Okay, okay, I added another one in there. Jesus loves you, he's my super-duper best friend and He can be yours also, you just have to let Him!"What do I do here?
I hang out with the kids! I teach Little Lambs (3 Years Old - Kindergarten) at The Rock.
A little about Pastor Ashley:
I really enjoy gardening! I can put my headphones in, crank up the praise and worship music, and get lost in gardening! I love Chinese food. My daughters and I are natives to GJ (My husband is from Oklahoma, but we don't hold it against him) so we love the mountains and enjoy finding new trails to ride our side by side on.
I enjoyed going to church when I was saved, but I didn't feel like my life truly changed until I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Before, I was just trying to live a Godly life to get to heaven. Now I want to live a Godly life to please God and because I want to have a relationship with Him. Since then I became the Little Lambs pastor, and I LOVE working with kids!! I love how kiddos look at the world and I can be fun and silly with them and there is zero judgment from them! We all joke that I'm still a kid and to be honest I am still a kid at heart!
