HVCS
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. While attending college, Kelsey worked as an assistant in our aftercare program and summer camp and then went on to be the director of both of these programs. 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 golf, listening to good music, singing, reading, working out, hiking, mountain bike riding with her hubby, going to the beach, camping, hunting, and spending time at the race tracks with her hubby.
Her favorite sports teams: Tennessee football (Go VOLS), Atlanta Braves baseball (CHOP ON), The Chattanooga Lookouts, Nashville Predators, and NASCAR.
Kelsey and her husband, Hunter, married on July 28, 2019 at Stratton Hall in Chattanooga.
Two days before Christmas 2019, they adopted a precious 8 week old McNab lab/ 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:
"Refuse to let the world corrupt you." -James 1:27
"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
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all of the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." -Psalm 23
"Letting the Spirit control your mind leads to LIFE and PEACE." -Romans 8:6
"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers-most of which are never even seen-don't you think He'll attend to you, take pride in you, do His best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how He works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." -Matthew 6:30-33
"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.
