Hey there! I’m Amy, and I serve as the Children’s Minister at Coggin. (I’m the newbie on staff – since January 2023 – but I know you’ll find Coggin folks to be as warm and welcoming as I already have!) My husband, Cory, and I love doing life and ministry together. We have three wonderful adult children, two of whom are now married. Lance and Liz live in Dallas, Brent lives here in Brownwood, and Abby and Caleb live in Midland. I graduated from University of Texas Permian Basin in 1999 with a B.A. in English and have both my Elementary and Early Childhood Teaching Certifications. I taught public school for 14 years and have now been in Preschool and Children’s Ministry for 10 years! I love spending time with my husband, hanging out with our kids, reading (all types of books, but especially Christian and historical fiction), and doing anything creative/crafty!
God has given me such a passion to partner with parents to make disciples. He continues to grow and equip me through the opportunities He has given me to serve in preschool and children’s ministries, and it is a privilege to help equip parents and grandparents at Coggin to be spiritual leaders in their homes. I love sharing the joy that I’ve found in Christ with children and their families, and I consider it a huge blessing to be a part of laying a foundation of faith and helping children understand how much their Creator loves them and wants to be in relationship with them!
