Meet Our Children's Minister
Hi! I’m Liz, and I’m passionate about helping kids build a real relationship with Jesus.
I actually grew up right here at Gateway through the children’s and youth ministry, which makes this role especially meaningful to me. After graduating from West Florida High School, I attended Harding University, where I earned a degree in Bible and Family Ministry. I later returned to Gateway as a summer intern before stepping into the role of Children’s Minister.
Our heart is to create a place where every child feels known, loved, and excited to learn about God. We would love to meet your family and help you get connected!
Outside of church, I love Disney, game nights, and spending time with my dog, Rory.
