Kids Co-Director
Mrs.Becca was born and raised right here in Fort Mill and loves our community! She is a follower of Christ, devoted wife, and has always had a God-given, innate passion for people and caring for others. What started as a career as a registered nurse, led to a Calling into motherhood and homemaking. This Calling has now led her to homeschool her three children and have a role in Kids Ministry. "What I love most about kids ministry is the incredible opportunity we are given to teach God's word, pour into and nurture relationships with Jesus and each other, steward young minds, equip and encourage families and guide our future generations. Not only these things, also to SHOW our precious kiddos how to be the hands and feet of Jesus right now!" Becca is our VBS director and has this to say about her experience so far. "When I was asked to be VBS Director, I gave God my best YES! It's a step out of my comfort zone for sure, but let me tell you... to witness 100+ plus kids in pure, genuine, and joy-filled worship, is deeply humbling, incredible gratifying, extremely powerful and SO awesome! And each week in Kids Ministry, it's such a blessing to watch Him work in and through these kids as they BELIEVE, BECOME, and BE SENT. I will continue to let God lead in my life and in our kids' ministry along side of our amazing Kids Council and volunteers. I can't wait for Him to move in mighty ways!"
Mrs. Becky Morris has been involved in various children’s ministries and early childhood education for 30+ years.  She brings an excitement for God’s Word to the children in creative ways and, with the help of our Kids on The Hill council, makes sure every child leaves with a better understand of who God is calling them to be!
