Celebrating Brittany Volk’s Faithful Service

With deep gratitude and warm hearts, we celebrate Brittany Volk and her many years of faithful service as our Director of Youth Ministry. Brittany has walked alongside the young people of our church with care, energy, and steadfast love, helping shape a ministry rooted in connection, faith, and joy.

Brittany first served as Interim Youth Director before stepping into a settled role, bringing with her not only experience as a junior-high biology teacher but also a unique blend of enthusiasm, administrative skill, and genuine care for our youth. She has poured her heart into every gathering, retreat, and late-night planning session—always keeping our young people at the center.

As our youth ministry enters a new chapter through the Ramona Youth Collaborative, Brittany will be concluding her staff role at the end of this summer. While she will no longer serve as Director of Youth Ministry, we’re not saying goodbye. Brittany remains a beloved member of our church family, and we look forward to continuing to share in life and worship together.

We give thanks to God for Brittany’s leadership and her lasting impact on the lives of so many. Thank you, Brittany, for your faithful service, your compassion, and your love for our youth. We are truly grateful.
