Christie is the Chief Mission Officer for RaiseUpFaith, a faith-based media platform that exists to inspire and equip kids and leaders to live Jesus-centred, joy-filled lives of curiosity and wonder for the Kingdom. She loves sharing her vision for kids ministry with grownups, igniting innovative ways to disciple children, and blazing trails for kids to step onto with Kingdom purpose. Christie’s own childlike faith allows her to point others to God's promises and presence.
Christie is credentialed BIC denomination, has completed the INCM Engage Certificate (Bethel Seminary), is a certified INCM Coach, running alongside, encouraging, and celebrating leaders as they grow. She also has her Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance; God has been tuning her voice for years and He remains her first and favourite coach.
Christie was the foundation author for David C. Cook’s Wonder Ink. Other ministry partnerships include BradG Kids, INCM, KidzMatter, KidMin Academy, and international speaking engagements and webinars including CPC, MegaCon, Awesome KidMin Conference, and KidBuilders, and Ministry Spark. She also enjoys preaching and teaching-especially at summer camps! She also serves on the Jesus Collective board.
When she’s not eating donuts, setting fires with her passion or freelancing as a rainbow unicorn, Christie can be found riding her streamer-clad bicycle with her charming husband and three (mostly) delightful kids.

Ways to Work Together
What would it take to go from where you are in KidMin to where you believe you were meant to go? I work with Kids Ministry Directors, Pastors and Leaders to take their ministries where God is calling.
Known as a leaky firehouse (all her feelings ooze out of my eyeballs), I aim to charm and impassion adults and kids alike at conferences and camps across North America.
I say stuff. About a lot of things. These are my thoughts on a few of them. This is where I declutter my brain, let you in and write about an audaciously loving God.
