Director of Children's Ministry Darcie King
Describe how you came to faith in Christ:
I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was five years old. My Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fish, told the class if anyone wanted Jesus to come into their lives we could stay in at snack and pray with her, so I did just that. Growing up I was living out my parent's faith. The summer going into my freshman year of high school I decided to rededicate my life to Christ and I chose at that point to have my own relationship with him. Looking back on that day, I can see how His hand was at work guiding me through life and leading me to the point I am today.
Family:
I am the youngest of the three children in my family. My Brother, Dan, and my sister, Deanna, are both happily married, and then there is me! My parents, Don and Debbie, still faithfully serve here at Grace. One thing, if you did not notice, the whole family starts with a "D". It can get confusing.
Education and ministry experience:
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from Azusa Pacific University in 2007. I have served on junior high and high school staff at Grace for 4 years now. I have volunteered with VBS since I was in Jr. High. The Lord has also given me opportunities to serve Him overseas and in Mexico on various mission trips. The Lord has now opened the door for me to be involved with the Children's Ministry, and I am excited to see what God has in store for the ministry and myself.
