Preschool Director / Business Administrator / Community Outreach 

Julie spends her days serving the needs of others in and around the community, focusing on children. She has been teaching preschoolers for 30 years and her main desire is that all children develop not only a head knowledge of Jesus, but also a heart knowledge. She leads the Grove Preschool Team with a passion that reflects our core belief that all children, no matter their age, can experience the unconditional love of Christ. This is why all lessons, stories, crafts, songs weave together to express this love to our kids.

In addition to her longstanding role in the preschool class, “Mrs. Julie” can also be found administrating and running a Backpack Program that feeds hundreds of Wilson Country students in multiple schools every single week. She has a degree in Social Work and a history of serving in the community as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, along with numerous other roles at The Grove. Julie and Andrew have been married for 37 years and have had the privilege of working alongside one another for most of those years.
