Biography
Jennifer Keenan joined our staff team in March of 2004 as our Nursery Coordinator at the Fairpoint Campus. In September 2004, under her direction 100 children were cared for free of charge after Hurricane Ivan for a month. She then took on finance and attendance for children's ministry as well as retained childcare. In April of 2005 she accepted the position of Children's Ministry Director with an amazing team of support from staff and volunteers. Children's Ministry grew on Sunday mornings surpassing 200 children filling all the classrooms the first week in the Benson building.
In 2009, Jennifer was asked to fulfill the role of Children's Director at both the Fairpoint and Soundside Campus. Over 1,000 children in our community come in contact with Jennifer. Jennifer's life long passion for children comes from local teaching of 1st and 3rd grade and from her desire to share her love of Christ not only with her own children but with our community.
Her children, Kate and Kyle, mean the world to her and inspire her towards excellence in all she does. Her husband Shawn is seen behind the scenes encouraging her and keeping her focused. On the fun side if you want to see Jennifer's eyes light up just talk about Disney World. She plans trips for friends and her children have lost count of how many times they have gone. Last summer she enjoyed a trip to a cabin in the Smokey Mountains for a change but word on the street is she is packing her bags for Disney again.
