Oakley, Millie, and Archie are the greatest blessing she has ever been given. Abby enjoys creating beauty in the most ordinary places. She is always planning an event and preparing for the next thing. Making sure children feel loved and accepted is her passion. Serving within this ministry has been such a special experience. Being able to work alongside the Bible teachers that poured into her as a child is indescribable.  Abby’s ultimate desire in this role is to create a place for families to raise their children to love the Lord.
