Brenda is a devoted pastor with a heart for supporting people as they grow in their faith, serve others in love, and engage in God’s mission. She brings her background in Elementary Education, Pastoral Counseling, life coaching, and an MDiv to her role as Women's, Children's, and Youth Director, where she nurtures spiritual growth and helps people deepen their relationship with God and each other.
Originally from Montana, Brenda now embraces life in Arizona with her husband, a retired dentist, their two children, Patrick and Anya, who are juniors at ASU, and their two fur babies, Saphira (a feisty cat) and Rufus (an energetic Golden Doodle).
Now that Brenda has completed her studies (for now), she is excited to resume creative prayer journaling (worshiping God through artistic expression inspired by His Word), read the many books on her shelves, and explore new ways to grow, serve, and engage!
