ALICIA DUCOTE

YOUTH DIRECTOR

I am a native of North Louisiana having graduated from both Trinity Heights Christian Academy and Centenary College with my undergrad in Exercise Science. Upon marrying my high school sweetheart Lee, we both moved to Franklin, TN where I worked for the YMCA of middle TN designing fitness programs for youth and professional athletes as well as those with varying medical issues. I obtained my masters degree from California University in Exercise Science and sport promotion. I was called to the ministry through Young Life; a mission organization dedicated to introducing kids to Jesus and helping them walk in their faith. Accepting a full time mission staff position, Lee and I moved to central Arkansas to minister to middle and high school kids in Heber Springs. I am currently working on a Maters in Theology from Fuller Seminary.


“I am in continuous awe of God and that He chooses me daily, in spite of my doubt and dismay, that I can make a difference in the world for just one kid. My desire is for every kid to know that they are truly loved by our maker and they have a genuine purpose in life. This is my continual prayer.”
