I have been part of the Eliot Chapel Religious Education (RE) staff since 2019. I began attending Eliot Chapel in 2000 when I was four years old. I served as a volunteer RE teacher while in high school and regularly volunteered in the summer nursery during college prior to joining the staff team.

I am excited to share that this year I have taken on a new role at Eliot as the Family Ministry Coordinator, in addition to my role as the Religious Education Assistant. I will be helping Eliot members create welcoming and meaningful opportunities for children, youth, caregivers, and families to connect with one another and the community. 

I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Missouri State University. During the week, I work for Kirkwood School District’s Adventure Club at Robinson Elementary. I love connecting with Eliot children and families and supporting Eliot’s RE volunteer leaders in their ministry. Let’s connect at abeck@eliotchapel.org.
