Sue Ann Hohimer, Director of Children and Family Ministries
What a privilege to be able to serve my Heavenly Father by ministering to the children and families of John Knox Church and this community. I began work on January 5th as the new, full-time Director of Children and Family Ministries and would like to share a few facts about me so that we can begin to get acquainted.
My husband and I are high school sweethearts, married over seventeen years. We have four sons. We've been active members of this community for the past nine years involved in everything from politics, to Little League, Marvista Elementary School PTSA , Highline Hospital, and the John Knox preschool, JAM program and VBS. I've enjoyed being a part of our Thursday morning Women's Bible Study for the past three years and our family has just completed its first year of belonging to a Life Group. Our boys love it!
For most of my life, I've been a "pastor's kid". My father, originally a public school teacher, recently retired after 35 years of pastoring churches in Oregon, Chicago and most recently, Church by the Side of the Road in SeaTac. My Master's Degree is in Elementary Education. I taught public school in Chicago before moving here in 1995 to join the staff of Church by the Side of the Road as Director of Children's Ministries. After nearly 5 years there and with a third baby on the way, I resigned to the full-time job of wife and mother. While thoroughly enjoying the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom, I began, over the summer, to feel God's prompting to ministry here.
God's plans are often different from ours. I've learned to fully trust that His ways are indeed BEST! No doubt, God is at work in this community and here in this precious congregation. I look forward to being used by Him to serve amongst you and in partnership with you. Please keep me in your prayers as I seek to discern and further communicate to you God's plan for directing the ministry to the children and families of our church. Thank you for making me feel welcomed.
