Born and raised in Culver, Kansas, I grew up a country boy and have been a United Methodist my whole life.

I started my journey here at College Hill in 2007. First as the Director of Youth Ministry, and now as the Director of Strategic Outreach Ministries, say what?

Director of Children's Ministries

She/Her

Jodi has served as College Hill’s Director of Children’s Ministries since 2017, after first finding a church home at College Hill with her husband, Greg, and their four daughters.

Jodi believes church should be a place where every child knows they are loved, valued, and fully included just as they are. Her ministry is rooted in grace, curiosity, hands-on experiences, and plenty of fun. She loves creating opportunities for children to ask big questions, build relationships, serve others, and discover their own place in the life of the church.

Some of Jodi’s favorite ministry experiences include Camp Horizon, ecumenical Vacation Bible School, service projects, retreats, and the wonderfully unpredictable moments that come with doing church alongside kids. She has a particular passion for creating spaces that welcome children with different personalities, abilities, learning styles, and sensory needs.

Jodi believes children aren’t simply the future of the church they are an important part of the church right now.

Outside of church, Jodi loves spending time with Greg and their girls and proudly calls Wichita home. Envelope
