Rebekah served as the Director of Children’s Ministry at Brentwood Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, California, for over 5 years where she created meaningful worship experiences and developed curriculum for children in 5th grade and younger. Her desire to serve in children’s ministry began in Kansas City, eventually bringing her to Southern California to earn a B.A. in Biblical Studies with a minor in Leadership Studies and a minor in Hebrew at Azusa Pacific University. She treasures the tender moments and antics raising a daughter brings, enjoys the art of a well crafted, delicious meal, listens to way too many NPR podcasts on her morning walks, attempts to capture her family’s life through photography, and cares deeply about children’s spiritual formation in the Christian faith tradition. Currently, she is developing resources for churches on the practice of welcoming children in worship and sharing the Bible with children in a meaningful and formative way. Rebekah is a local of Kansas City, Southern California and Austin, TX. She and her husband, Ted, their daughter, Ellery and pup, Tortilla reside in Austin, TX.
