2014/2015
!
Parents,
!
My name is Skylar White.
I’m the Student Minister at
Post Road Christian Church.
!
Our Student Ministry exists to reach those far from
God and connect them to Jesus.
!
We do this through age specific programming,
lessons, trips, experiences, and more.
!
This cannot happen without parents. My goal is to
connect with students and partner with parents.
!
I love students, cereal, music, and having
adventures. I’m married to my best friend, Rachel,
and have a puppy named Teddy.
!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to
contact me @ 217-653-8810.
!
!
In Christ,
Skylar White
