Hey there, I’m Rachel! I am currently working full-time interning on the Junior High Ministry at the main campus of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest. Learning from Katie Edwards and Kurt Johnston, and so many others has been a dream come true. I moved about 10 months ago from Omaha, Nebraska to pursue this next step in Youth Ministry!

I am currently finishing up a BA in Next Generation Ministry with a focus on Student Ministry through Hope International University online, and will graduate in May of 2018.

I know that God has called me to ministry for "such a time as this". My goal ultimately is to win students to Christ. I really do believe that God has wired me for leadership, and my passion is to do ministry at a high level by calling teens to do great things and giving them a place where their voice can be heard. I want to be able to show students that it IS possible to live a holy and God honoring life, without falling to the world's pressures.

If I can invest into the lives of students, and show them that Jesus is so worth everything- I feel that I am accomplishing God's will and calling for my life. I believe students can change the world. I would love to connect and talk more, let me know if you are interested in my resume and/or references!
