Welcome to Children’s Ministry! I am a proud mom of two year twins, Luke and Lola, and my husband, Daryl, and I have been married for five years. I have an undergraduate and Master’s Degree in education and curriculum development and feel most at “home” writing curriculums that teach children about the love of Jesus. After teaching for several years, I am grateful that God has paved the way for me to continue to use my gifts and passions to serve a church family. PCC is a wonderful church with such potential for young families, thanks for joining us!  

Keri Carpenter has recently joined our staff in Administration.
