Darcy Reinagel is the Women’s Ministry Director. She is an ordained minister and a licensed Pastoral Counselor. Darcy has been ministering to women, in many different settings, for over 25 years. It is her desire to see all women flourish.

There is so much that the devil uses to isolate women, make them feel separated,

insufficient, and on the outside looking in. It is my heart to encourage authenticity,

strong relationship with the Lord, healthy bonds of friendship, and unity among women.

There is a place for women in ministry. Women fulfill an important role in the lives of

their families and the church. It is my heart to help remove burdens and hindrances, so women can simply be who God made them to be.

To be our authentic selves, in healthy relationship with God and others, is a very

powerful position for God to pour through our lives to help and heal others.

Lisa Jo Baker: “Let’s be women who want to see other women flourish.”
