Kelsey Johns

Welcome to Preschool (K3)

Kelsey has been part of the HVCS family for many years. She is an alumni of HVCS and enjoyed her years here as a student. Kelsey graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) with a Bachelor's of Science (B.S.) degree in Early Childhood Education and Family Studies.

Kelsey enjoys being active. Some of her favorite things to do when she isn't working: spending time with her family and her fur baby (Sully), playing a lot of golf, singing, reading, working out, hiking, bike riding, and the beach.

Her favorite sports teams: Tennessee football (Go VOLS), Atlanta Braves baseball (CHOP ON), The Chattanooga Lookouts, Nashville Predators, and anything Golf (Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth are her two favorite golfers).

Kelsey and her husband, Hunter, married on July 28, 2019 at Stratton Hall in downtown Chattanooga. Kelsey and her hubby are expecting their first child, a precious baby BOY!!! They will name him Bode Hunter Johns.
Baby Bode is due March 3, 2025!

Two days before Christmas 2019, they adopted a precious 8 week old Great Pyrenees/ Dalmatian puppy who they named "Sully" from A Paw and A Prayer animal rescue shelter.

Kelsey is happy to be teaching the wonderful kids in K3 and loves her job! This is exactly where God has called her to be!

Kelsey's favorite Bible verses:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11

"Nevertheless, She persisted." -Matthew 15:28

"Lord, teach Me how You want Me to live. Do this so that I will depend on You, My faithful God. Give Me a heart that doesn't want anything more than to worship You." -Psalm 86:11

"If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."-Romans 10:9

"My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit. Then you won't feel the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free Spirit, just as the free Spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at time another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don't you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?" -Galatians 5:16-18

Lord, give me the boldness to be who You have called me to be. To live a life completely surrendered, so it's Christ the world sees in me.
