Pastor/Wife/Mom
Pastor Heather is a graduate of MidAmerica Nazarene University where she studied Christian Education with an emphasis on Children's Ministry. While in Olathe Kansas Heather attended College Church of the Nazarene where she completed her ministry practicum and also met her husband, Justin. Heather was ordained Elder in the Church of the Nazarene on the South Texas district in 2015.
Heather and Justin have been married 15 years and have 5 boys and 1 daughter. Their oldest is a Freshman at Mid America. (Go MNU!) and their youngest is still in diapers. As you might imagine, there is always plenty of noise in their home! They also have a giant dog named Phoebe Palmer who protects them from trash trucks.
Heather is passionate about sharing her faith and life with children and their families. She looks for opportunities to disciple and train children to become leaders. Matthew 5:16 is important to Heather as she reflects on her life and how God has placed so many people in her life who “let their light shine” in such a way that not only led her to Jesus but then encouraged her to grow in her faith.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
When Heather gets a free moment, she enjoys coffee, napping, coffee, shopping, decorating and coffee. She loves to meet friends at the local coffee shop on Saturdays to share a cup of coffee and catch up on life.
