Rising Arrows

In response to a growing community need for childcare, adequate food and additional learning during the summer months, Rising Arrows, of New Life Church, is partnering with Kinsey Elementary School to provide a high-quality summer learning experience that is safe, fun and guides kids to recognize the asset they are to their community.  Our program is 9 weeks, 3 days a week in the summer months.  Breakfast, lunch and snack are provided daily. Our days consist of optional Bible lessons, physical activities, crafts, and life skills.  We also provide math and reading lessons daily to further our kids’ academics.  On Fridays, we allow our kids to experience Sioux Center and amenities our city has to offer.  *We are currently in the process of obtaining our 501(c)3. 

I had minimal ministry experience before starting at New Life in 2021. By trade, I am a hairdresser. By the grace of God, I am able to do children’s ministry. God gave me a big idea for Rising Arrows, and after the church allowed me to run with that, I knew He had bigger plans in ministry for me. New Life has been my church family for a long time. I feel very honored to work and be blessed by the congregation of this church!
I wasn’t always a strong Christian. I always knew God but didn’t always allow Him to walk alongside me. I didn’t own my first Bible until I was 26. Once I started reading His word, and what His will is for my life and others, my world changed! My mission within our church is to create a safe place for everyone to come and learn about Christ just as they are. I love seeing people grow closer to God and start living out His word.
Our family is two boys, two dogs, and a Doug! We have two very active little boys, Vince and Nix.
