My husband, Dan, and I have been at New Beginnings for 7ish years. We love the worship, learn from the sermons, and appreciate the casual atmosphere. I've been on the Sunday School team about 5 years and love the kids and other staff members.

I recently retired from BJC Healthcare after a 30+ year career in learning and leadership development, both with non-profit (including Lutheran Hour Ministries) and for-profit companies. During that time I developed and facilitated training and leadership team programs, and developed team members to do the same. It's been an incredibly fun career ride for which I am very grateful.

I wasn't sure what retirement would hold for me, but I knew I wanted to do something that allowed me the opportunity to share Christ more overtly than I could in my previous positions.  And then Lisa called 😉.  It's tough to say no to Lisa at any time, but when the opportunity is to further develop the NBLC children's program, the answer is a YES!  The timing was a God thing for sure! I am excited to be working with the staff, kids, and parents to strengthen and build the program to be even better than it already is.
