About Rachel
Rachel was born in California and has spent the last 20 years living in the UK with her husband and son. She has worked in a variety of churches as a family life pastor, children's pastor and youth pastor. Because of this broad experience, Rachel consults, speaks at conferences and runs training days for parents and church leaders around the UK and Europe... and is coming Down Under in 2023.
Rachel is also the pioneer of Parenting for Faith in response to a vision God gave her in 2005 to meet a need in her local church.
As a published author of numerous books Rachel is a sought after speaker with a great sense of humour (which you get from working with children) and engaging presentation style. Rachel's experience and passion will connect with parents, pastors, children's ministry leaders and team leaders. Don't miss this opportunity coming your way this year.
