Student Ministries Pastor Cerina Hentges
Children's Ministry Director Alicen Fritzinger
I stumbled upon Willowbrook after moving to Forest Lake in July 2016, and I can finally say I have found my church home. What started as a volunteer opportunity to paint the kids' min room has since turned into a passion for serving God's children. Giving them opportunities to utilize the gifts God has given them is what I enjoy most.
The best part of serving in children's ministry is being able to see life through their eyes. I am constantly reminded of how beautiful this life can be when viewed from their perspective.
My husband, Chris, and I married in July 2016, and we have two dogs, Nike and Zeus. When I'm not at the 'Brook, I can be found training dogs at the Humane Society or on the lake with friends.
Since giving my life to Christ in March 2014, there have been many verses that have guided me. One in particular is Proverbs 31:30 - Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
