Welcome Ally! We are delighted to have you on board!! In Ally’s words: Hi CLC! My name is Ally Williams and you might recognize me because I grew up here at CLC. Pastor Gail likes to call me “a daughter of the congregation”. I love that, because I love it here. I grew up in Highlands Ranch and graduated from Mountain Vista, go Eagles! More recently, I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor’s of Science in Earth Science and Secondary Education. In normal words, I graduated with the ability to teach science to middle and high schoolers. So if your student (or you!) just want to learn more about the environment, I’m here to talk. I can’t wait to start working with young adults between 18-30, growing a thriving young adult ministry and also coordinating church events. If you want to learn more about a ministry or have an idea for one please feel free to stop by my office! I’m excited to be your new connections coordinator. Contact: connections@clchr.org
