Meghan joined the CFBC staff in October 2022. She moved to the area from New Mexico with her family shortly before finding First Baptist. This church quickly became their new church home, full of people who feel like family. Meghan has been helping in the church children’s department since she was in middle school and has done everything from cleaning toys to being the Children’s Ministry Director at her previous church. She became a Christian at a young age and, because of that, has a desire to help kids grow their faith so that they learn to rely on God throughout their lives. Meghan and her husband homeschool their three kids and they enjoy spending their free time exploring the area and working in their yard. Her favorite verses are Psalm 91 and Proverbs 3:5-6.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
