Jodi serves alongside Betsy in the Children’s Ministry at Hope specifically focusing on the nursery. Jodi is from the Midwest, where she married her high school sweetheart, Andy, and where they had their 6 kids. Moving to sunny North Carolina in 2016 has been a balm to her soul and has proved to be a wonderful place to raise their family.

The things that excite her the most are date nights with Andy, starting her day with coffee and Jesus, sitting on the couch with her kids and taking in all that they will share, cooking and baking, exercising, and spending as much time in the sun as is allowed!
