Bernice is our Children's Pastor.
She was born in Billings, Montana; however, she spent most of her childhood in Kenya, Africa. Most of her adult years have been spent in the Pacific Northwest where she got her BAE and teaching certificate at Eastern Washington University. After she graduated, she went on to teach junior high for seven years, taught ex-pat kids as a missionary associate in the Republic of Georgia for two years, and served as a Children’s Pastor for 5+ years at a church in Shoreline, WA.

She enjoys chatting over a good cup of coffee with friends; loves inspiring others and being inspired; delights in adventure; loves to teach and work with kids; traveling and seeing new things thrill her; and she firmly believes that chocolate is its own food group.

Mexican and Thai food are at the top of her “favorites” list for sure.
