At 8 years old Dillon felt the call of God on his life to Children’s Ministry. Knowing God’s call at such a young age is exactly why Dillon is so passionate about kids. It is his desire to help children and families grow deeper, together, in their relationship with Christ. From missions trips, to actively leading in Kids Ministry for several years, it is his heart to help families build a firm foundation that is stable enough to last a lifetime.

In addition to Dillon’s love for God, one of his greatest treasures is his wife Bekah. They met while interning in Children’s Ministry and knew right away that they were designed to be a team for life. In their free time you can find them exploring new places, catching a new movie, or just relaxing at home.

Bekah was also called to Children’s Ministry at the young age of 7 years old. This is why she believes that no matter what age you are, everyone can have a relationship with God. She works diligently to create an environment where kids and families feel welcomed, loved, safe, and where they can grow into all that God has created them to be. Nothing brings her more joy, than to witness kids and families grow deeper and stronger in their relationship with God.

Speaking of joy, the joy of her life is her husband Dillon. From interning, to buying their first home, every adventure makes her that much more grateful to God for bringing them together. They’re always doing something, but you can usually find them playing board games, enjoying their cheese tray and tv shows, or playing with their doggies.
