With over a decade of experience as an ICU and infusion nurse, Erin brings compassion, attentiveness, and a calming presence to her role in Children’s and Special Needs Ministries. Though new to this position, her desire to teach—especially young children—has been in her heart for as long as she can remember. Erin believes God faithfully planted that calling long before it blossomed into ministry.

She currently teaches yoga and is newly certified to teach kids’ yoga, using movement and mindfulness to help children of all abilities grow in faith, confidence, and Christ-centered connection.

Outside of ministry, Erin treasures time with her family and friends, loves making memories, cheering on Alabama football (Roll Tide!), and spending time with her beloved dog, Hallie.

Her favorite passage, John 15:4–8, where Jesus calls us to abide in Him and bear lasting fruit, has guided her for years—and now carries deeper meaning as she walks faithfully in her calling to Children’s and Special Needs Ministries. Erin’s greatest joy is helping children stay rooted in God’s love so they can flourish in every season of life.
