Children’s Ministry Director for Early Childhood and AWANA
Born and raised: Lansing, MI
Education: Wheaton College (BA Elementary Education)
Ministry Experience: Children’s Ministry Director since 2000. I work closely with my co-director, Steph Atchison. I enjoy teaching a preschool class on Sunday mornings and filling in where needed on Wednesday nights.
Spouse: John Risch (married since June 1987)
Kids: Cody & Monica (married 10-10-20) and Callie
Testimony: I accepted the Lord as my personal savior as a young child. Through my teen years I really began to understand what it meant to live a Christ-like life. As a young mom in 1990 I attended my first women’s Bible study… I’ve been hooked ever since! Studying God’s Word on my own and then discussing what I’m learning with a small group of women has been a wonderful experience for me.
