My husband and I went out to Portland, Oregon eight years ago to help start a church. When that fell apart, we got connected with Fresh Life Church — they were starting a new campus out there at the time — and my husband and I took over as the campus pastors. We served there for about five years.
We moved back because we have two adult children here. When our daughter was looking for a Christian school for her oldest — our oldest granddaughter — she found the school online and mentioned it to me. I was looking for a part-time job at the time, and this just kind of fell in our laps after a lot of prayer.
We asked whether it would be reaching to call that an act of providence. “No, you would not be reaching. That is absolutely true.”
I have a vested interest in this school, because I have four grandchildren that will be attending here. I have my degree in early childhood education, and I homeschooled our five children up to adulthood — so I understand the importance of an education and, more importantly, the importance of a Christian foundation in education.
We are a small team that is dedicated to giving children individualized attention in the areas of study they need most.
Pastored on one coast, homeschooled five, and came home for the grandkids — an act of providence, and she’d tell you so.
