“ In this job we get to help kids through experiences, hep them through things that they are afraid of or nervous about.

Be ready for a challenge. I came into this wanting something that was going to challenge me to learn new things but was also going to challenge me spiritually as well and grow as a person… There’s so many people here who are ready to help you, Be ready for excitement, for adventure, and for a challenge “

 

What’s your favourite outdoor activity?

High ropes.

What gets you excited about coming to work?

Being outside on Gods creation is amazing! And being with kids, being able to take about my faith - that fills me with joy.

What made you want to do a traineeship with COE?

I’d previously been in a ministry job and it made me realize that I still had a heart for kids ministry. I thought I’m up for a new adventure, I’m up for a new challenge and I really wanted to go back to some official kind of ministry”
