We are excited to announce that we have hired a new Pastor of Preschool Ministries – Beatrice Brown! Beatrice comes to us with years of experience and an excitement for this new role. The OMNI family is blessed to have her. She has officially started, so say hello if you see her during the weekend.
Read below to hear more about Beatrice:
“I grew up in central California but I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years now. My husband and I moved to Salem from eastern Washington nearly three years ago and we love it here. Some of my favorite things to do include walking our dogs, hiking in Silver Falls or on the coast, exploring tide pools in Lincoln City, and reading. I graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman where I studied Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development, and I have spent the last eight years teaching mostly preschool and kindergarten. Children's Ministry has always been important to me and I have volunteered in different capacities for over a decade so I am very grateful for this new ministry opportunity.” – Beatrice Brown
