Having grown up in Blandon, Pennsylvania, Kim Messinger holds an Associate Degree in Bible from Lancaster Bible College, an Undergrad Degree in Elementary Education from Millersville University, and a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Nova Southeastern University. She puts her extensive studies to the test on a daily basis, as she serves as a first grade teacher in a public school.

On the ministry side of things, Kim volunteers as youth director at Hillside Christian Fellowship in Millersburg, PA. She has also served as Christian education director and worship leader for her church, and has been part of several different music groups. Is it obvious yet that this girl can sing?

Thankfully, teenage sons Micah and Caleb support their mom, but keep her busy with all the sports and bands they’re involved in. Kim’s wonderful husband Matthew helps maintain order by cooking, cleaning, and even writing an occasional love note to his wife. Don’t they say that behind every happy woman is a man who doesn’t mind doing the dishes?

Kim’s contagious enthusiasm for the Lord, though, is what really makes her stand out. Regardless of her circumstances, she just loves Christ and loves to worship Him. Even if it means worshiping while tending her herb garden, a favorite hobby.
