Ellie grew up in San Diego for most of her life. She came to Flagstaff in 2019 to get her Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood and Special Education at Northern Arizona University, which she received in 2022. Ellie now works full-time as a teacher at Flagstaff Christian School. She found Urban Hope in 2022 and discovered a true relationship with Jesus that transformed her life. Since then she loves to serve every Sunday as a greeter, welcoming people just as she was so lovingly welcomed her first time at church. Ellie graduated from the second year of our School of Ministry where she got to dive deeper into her relationship with God. She oversees all of our visitors, first impressions, and handles connecting our church family to different ministries and avenues to serve.
