church together and develop a friendship first. In 2000, they moved to Frisco

young adult class, in briefly as volunteers for the Student Ministry, as
teachers of Pre-K, MOPS participant, men's and women's retreats, deacon,

Coordinator (2009 to present), staff member, adult teachers, and elder. In
March of 2007, their family doubled with the arrival of Seth and Joseph. In
August of 2011, Preston Ridge offered Janet the opportunity to serve on staff
learning and maintaining the church body's communication site, as well as
supporting the pastoral staff administratively. She finds joy and gratitude in
serving her Savior daily through her family, weekly through her church family,
