We are pleased to introduce you to our new Directors of Trails 56, Kelly and Julie Griese! Kelly and Julie are excited to lead our 5th and 6th grade youth ministry, coming alongside our Trails 56 parents to help disciple the next generation. The Grieses are excited to be back in Texas after having spent the past 2 1/2 years in Omaha, Nebraska where Julie was on staff as the Children's Ministry Coordinator at Coram Deo Church. They served in children’s ministry as a couple for over 10 years, including at Providence Church in Frisco, and they have also served as community group leaders.

When asked where their passion for seeing kids grow in the gospel comes from, they replied “As previous elementary school teachers, we both have a passion for teaching children. More importantly we want children to know Jesus as their savior.” Julie loves serving students and their families as well, seeing youth ministry as a partnership with families. Kelly loves seeing kids have a genuine love for God and he is excited to help establish a community centered on making disciples. Their prayer is “for partnership with the church and families to disciple and raise up children who will know and love Jesus.”

Please pray for wisdom for the Grieses as they seek God’s will for Trails 56, and please help us welcome Kelly and Julie!
