About Julie
I grew up in Minnesota, and from an early age, God began giving me a heart for serving others. Through participating in many mission trips, I developed a passion for ministry and for sharing God’s love with people around the world. Those experiences ultimately led me to Moody Bible Institute, where I graduated with a degree in International Ministries and Bible.
I am married to my husband, Jody, and we have two children, Abby and Josiah. My family is such a blessing to me, and I love spending time with them. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, watching movies, and making memories with my family.
My heart is especially drawn to serving children and their families. I want every child and family who walks through our doors to feel loved, valued, and genuinely welcomed. It is a joy to serve and to help create a place where families can grow in their relationship with Christ and feel that they truly belong.
