Lauralee Holsing, Director of Education Ministries ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

I serve as the director of education ministries, meaning I oversee programs and staffing for Sunday School, Children's Church, AWANA, and other educational endeavors of our church. I felt God's call into ministry when I was a teenager. Although it has been a long journey into full-time ministry, God has used all of my previous experiences in preparing me for this position. With God, nothing is ever wasted! I have three grown children - Jill, Joel & Jerry - living in far-away places.
