Being raised on the Navajo Indian Reservation as a missionary kid ingrained in Renae a heart for ministry at an early age. After graduating from Bryan College with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Bible she began her teaching career in the local public school system. Renae has 25 years of educational experience, including public elementary, preschool, private elementary, and coaching. Renae has always been involved in the leadership of her local church’s children ministry because her greatest desire is to see children grow in their knowledge of God and come to know Jesus as their personal savior. Renae joined the staff at ChristWay in 2022 when she felt God calling her out of the classroom and into full time ministry. She has been married to the love of her life Matt for 26 years. They have two daughters in college. Matt and Renae enjoy traveling, bike rides, and are always up for a competitive family game night.
