Dana is looking forward to gathering with mom’s of pre-schoolers each week! This group will spend time looking in depth at different women in the Bible and discussing how God used each woman in his plan of salvation. Mom’s can bring their little tykes along, with the goal having kids supervised in one room, so the women can have real, uninterrupted discussions in their study.  Dana is a wife and mother to 2 tiny humans.  She’s pretty laid back and tends to roll with the punches.  As a former barista she loves to make people coffee and listen to their stories.  She doesn’t publicly pass judgment on the coffee she drinks, but deep down, she knows good coffee from bad!

Fun Fact about Dana:  When she hears the beat drop, she transforms into a Dancing Queen, leaving a trail of fire behind her.  With years of dance in her background, she completely takes over the dance floor, but usually only at weddings or dance parties with her kids.  

The Kosak’s love hosting in their home and invite college aged/young adults to experience “Dinner and Discussion” on Monday evenings.  The group will spend time in a study of Genesis, using Marty Solomon’s BEMA Discipleship study and weekly podcast.  Marty, the author of the studay, and Lowell are great friends and both work for Impact Campus Ministries, reaching out to many national college campuses. Katie’s job doesn’t involve travel like Lowell’s, but she goes on every day adventures working with students at Nuner Primary School.  College aged/young adults can count on community and connection in this group and also get some “home cooking” to go along with it.   

Fun fact about Katie: She has a collection of over 100 tea pots and cups.  Some call it a sickness, but she believes it’s because she has the spirit of hospitality!

Fun fact about Lowell:  He has made over 100 pieces of furniture in his workshop and especially loves to create pieces that are made from re-purposed barn and pallet wood. 

Denise says of herself, “I love God, love my family, and love getting to know and encourage women of all ages in walking the walk and talking the talk.”  Denise is also very passionate about learning how to hear God’s voice, move more in the Spirit and spending daily time on her personal relationship with Jesus.  She’s a supportive (and busy) mother and grandmother who enjoys gardening, knitting, reading and also has a deep passion for animals.  Denise’s Tuesday night women’s group will draw discussions from video talks of some of Denise’s favorite Christian women, Joyce Meyer, Priscilla Shirer, Lisa Beverley and Kris Reece.  

Fun fact about Denise:  When she was 7 or 8 years old, the Queen of England and Prince Phillip came to my school and she and her schoolmates sang for them.  She also got to shake hands and curtsy.  Rubbing elbows with Royalty!!

Lowell will be leading group members through a study in Genesis, using Marty Solomon’s BEMA Discipleship study and weekly podcast. The main idea behind the study being that, it is not our desire to recreate an ancient world, but to learn from its successes and implement something vibrant into the culture of today.  Lowell’s small group welcomes couples and singles of all ages. Lowell and his wife Katie have been married 28 years and have 2 adult sons. Lowell’s been in ministry all his life, and currently works with Impact Campus Ministries.  

Fun fact about Lowell: He hates heights, so much so, that Lowell’s  been stuck on a roof and had to get  help down. Several years ago, he took a dare from some former youth ministry students and ended up jumping off a 50 foot cliff to cold waters of Grayson Lake below. He jumped twice, literally scared stiff and not able to scream going down!!!
