PowerKidz [pk]
“For I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past— stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and His mighty wonders."
– PSALM 78:2-4
Whittney Robinson
PowerKidz DIRECTOR
Whittney lovingly oversees our children’s ministry to ensure a safe, vibrant, and Biblically sound program for our kids. Through weekly prayer and planning with senior leadership, lessons plans are prepared so our PK teachers can confidently impart the truth of God's word in practical and relevant ways. Whittney also meets with parents on a monthly basis to encourage them to spend time with their children reinforcing and living out the principles being taught in both adult and kids church–as they purposely correlate. It is Whittney's desire to lay a good spiritual foundation that will keep children interested in the things of God as they learn to serve others in the power of God's Spirit. She is a fierce leader who models and declares the grace of God in all she does.

WORSHIP TEAM
"You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their
starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to
everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
–NEHEMIAH 9:6
Natalia Saa
(Worship Leader)
Natalia's desire to live a life that is well-pleasing to the Lord is beautifully displayed as she leads others to worship at the feet of Jesus. She is a strong leader who prayerfully and strategically oversees worship teams and the development of worship sets. She provides direction at weekly rehearsals, invests in team member growth and leads regional worship efforts that promote unity in the greater Body of Christ.
Natalia grew up watching her father lead worship and shepherd others in this ministry. Her passion to do the same continues to grow as the Lord cultivates this desire within her. Natalia is a joy to us at LifeWay.
