Auna Lynn delights in working with children! She is inspired by their innocence, boldness, faith, energy, and their honesty.

A homeschooling mother of five, trained in Elementary Education, and married to Pastor Rob, she seeks to equip young children and their families to be a place where core values, devotion to one another, and unshakeable faith in God's grace & goodness TRIUMPH. Creative, anchored in The Spirit and ready to laugh and DELIGHT in your young children...Auna Lynn INVITES your family to join us for Worship and Children's Ministry at New Heights.
