Mandy grew up near the Twin Cities in Minnesota. She attended Crown College in Minnesota for 2 years and worked for 3 summers at a kid’s Bible camp in Colorado, where she met her husband, Wes. She moved to NWA in 2003 and began working with children as a preschool teacher at a church and then at a kid’s day out program. She has always had a love for children and enjoys watching them learn and grow in their love for God. She enjoys planning fun activities that help bring the Bible and the Gospel to life for kids. She cares deeply about the spiritual environment for children’s ministry and desires for all kids to feel seen and known by their church community. Mandy and Wes have 4 kids and spend most of their free time chauffeuring their kids to sports and activities. When she is not doing the mom thing, she loves reading, baking, and dabbling in water color.
