Jen has been working with children from infant to 18 years old in one way or another for more than 10 Years!

Her first job with children in a Christian capacity was as a Nursery Worker at First United Presbyterian Church in Cañon City. After she married Mark in June, 2002 they transferred to Mark's home church First United Methodist Church of Cañon City. During that time Jen was very involved in every aspect of The Children's Ministry. She was nursery coordinator, music co-director for 3 VBS Programs. Co-Coordinator of VBS in 2007. She also led a 4th & 5th Grade Youth Group called Kan-Do-Kids with her best friend Sarah.

In 2005, she and Mark were blessed to adopt their son Joshua! He is the light of their lives and brings constant joy. Shortly after Joshua was born Mark and Jen led the FUMY, the Youth Group at The Methodist Church. Together they led FUMY for 3 years. When they moved to Pueblo, they had to find a new church and SonRise quickly became their home!

Jen is currently in her final year of college, she will graduate with her Degree in Accounting at the end of 2012.

Jen is very excited to start this journey and new chapter of both her and SonRise's ministry! If you have any questions, comments, concerns or ideas, don't hesitate to contact her! You can reach her at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it !
