Connie’s lifelong passion for dance has taken her on a transformative journey, impacting the lives of children around the world. After high school, she spent two years with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in the Netherlands, where she taught dance and led the King’s Kids program, a ministry that fosters faith and creativity in young people. This experience ignited her passion for multicultural diversity and representation in ministry.

In 2011, Connie moved to Dallas to join a professional dance company. It was there that she met her now-husband, Tyler, at Gateway Church, where he was a beloved figure in the kids' ministry. Tyler invited her to serve in the kids' ministry in 2012, and Connie quickly discovered her love for working with children.

In 2016, Connie transitioned to a full-time role at Gateway as the Operations Coordinator for the Central Kid's Department, where she developed systems and processes that helped optimize ministry operations. In 2018, Connie and Tyler stepped out to serve as kids pastors at a church in Austin, TX. During this time, she gained a deep appreciation for the hard work and sacrifice required to build a church from the ground up. She also discovered her passion for building strong teams by investing in their spiritual, emotional, and relational health.

In 2021, Connie took on the role of Lead IT Project Manager at Gateway Church, where she oversaw multi-million dollar projects and major technology initiatives that transformed her perspective on how technology can be harnessed to engage families in their children's spiritual formation. This experience reinforced her belief in the power of technology as a tool for helping families grow in faith.

Connie’s commitment to excellence has been instrumental in developing the curriculum at Amazing Kids, where she helps create interactive and faith-building experiences that allow children to authentically connect with God.

Connie and her husband, Tyler, now live in Grapevine, TX, where they are raising their two daughters, Bravery and Brightly. Connie remains deeply committed to empowering churches and families through continually developing innovative resources that inspire children’s spiritual growth and strengthen connections within the church community..
