Since 2011, I have worked with students in unconventional settings. As a student ministries director and camp coordinator I have had the opportunity of working with children and youth of all ages in unique learning situations outside the classroom. Through camping ministries, mission trips, service projects, and church settings the world becomes a classroom and a teaching/learning experience. As an ordained pastor I have also worked with and counseled parents and families as they navigate uncharted waters during childhood and adolescent years.
I have been a consultant with the Rainbow team since 2021. Through my time here at Rainbow I have had many children’s Bibles, character building books, Bible studies, and spiritual formation books and lessons cross my desk. I see the immense value in adding Bible and theological studies to a student’s studies. Coming from a theological studies degree and a Christian leadership background, the inclusion of Biblical teaching and concepts is so important for character development and spiritual formation. Whether this is through intentional Biblical study or through incorporating Bible work within the curriculum, this is a significant element to a child’s education.
I look forward to hearing from you about your specific needs and desires for your students!
