Meet Lauren

I first heard the gospel through a ministry called YoungLife and accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was 16. However, it wasn’t until my sophomore year of college that a friend challenged and encouraged me to start reading my Bible, praying, and attending church. I began to learn about God’s character and my identity in Him and experienced peace and joy as the Lord transformed my heart. I saw true growth in my walk with God when I began attending Watermark in 2010. I was poured into through community and various ministries and was encouraged to serve and lead. It’s been a real privilege watching others grow in their understanding of God’s love for them and experience the abundant life that He has promised us!

Some random facts about me: I love being outside and hiking is one of my favorite activities (it’s hard being a flatlander!). I love music and will travel great distances to see my favorite artists live in concert. I listen to podcasts at 2x speed, I’m pretty much always down for an adventure, and I am probably Googling everything you say!
