Welcome aboard!

I am honored to introduce myself as the new Children's Ministry Director. For the past ten years, I've had the privilege of working as a Sprout's Preschool teacher, and I have developed a deep love for working with children and families. I believe this passion will be a great fit for this new role, and I'm excited about what God has planned.

As I step into this position, I am wholeheartedly committed to building on the wonderful foundation that those before me have laid. Starting on Sundays in November, the children will go downstairs to their Sunday School classrooms as soon as they are checked in. This will allow for more learning time and activities. I am passionate about growing and enriching our children's program while staying true to the values and traditions we hold dear. I especially want to thank Lindsey Shelton (our Sprouts Preschool Director) for her guidance and leadership. Her example has inspired me, and I'm grateful for the wisdom she's shared with me throughout my years at Sprouts Preschool.

On a personal note, I'd like to introduce my family. My husband and I have three wonderful children: Mia (19), Ema (14), and Eli (13). We are blessed to be part of this church community.

I am deeply grateful for your warm welcome and the continued support you have shown for the children's ministry. Your encouragement is invaluable, and I am truly excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. I look forward to working with each of you as we grow together in faith.

Blessings,

Josie Salazar (Miss Josie)

Children's Ministry Director
