I oversee the Kidlife ministry. This ministry includes Nursery (newborn - 2 years old), Toddlers (2 year old - 3 year old), Preschool (4 year old - 5 year old), X-treme Kids (Kindergarten - 4th grade) and Club 56 (5th and 6th grade).
What is your favorite thing about Brooklife?
I love being in a church with an outward focus as well as inward. Brooklife desires to help strengthen the community and to assist people of all ages to grow in their personal faith. Children know that this more than their parent's church - it's their church, too! The teaching at Brooklife for all ages is relevant to the place of life the individual is in.
Family?
I have been married to my best friend, Dan, for over twenty years. Our marriage has been blessed with three great kids: Joe, Jacob, and Dianna.
What do you do for fun?
As a family, we love to spend time "up north" boating, jet skiing, hiking, and catching some sun. I also enjoy watching our kids play in any of the many sports they participate in. Dan and I enjoy a nice dinner with friends, and if I have some time on my own I enjoy walking the dog, cooking, and scrapbooking.
