We are excited to welcome Becki Jones as our new Academy Director at Lionheart Children's Academy at FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH VAN ALSTYNE. Becki has worked in numerous roles in early childhood education over the past 25 years, 17 of which she spent in the classroom. Becki and her husband have four grown children. They moved to Texas in 2020 at the prompting of their 3-year-old granddaughter. When not at work, Becki loves spending time with her family, both near and far, exploring Texas, and chasing after her two Aussie Doodles! Here's a little more about Becki in her own words: "I’m so excited to be joining Lionheart and working in God-centered learning environments that inspire children to grow spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally, and physically as a whole child. It’s such a joy to come along side families and encourage children to be lifelong learners and foster their love for Jesus." We are so glad Becki said "Yes!" to Lionheart and are looking forward to seeing God work through her in this new role!

At Lionheart, we’re more than early childhood education—we’re part of a Kingdom mission to transform the child care industry for Christ. By partnering with local churches, we offer quality care for working families and share the Gospel at a critical stage of children’s spiritual growth. Research shows that if a child doesn’t come to Christ by age 13, they may never do so—this fuels our passion, and we need your help to help us grow this ministry! Join us this North Texas Giving Day and help us reach more children with God’s love. Every gift counts! Give today: https://lnkd.in/gCnGhV8T #NorthTexasGivingDay

We are excited to announce that Misty Irwin has been promoted to Assistant Academy Director at Lionheart Children's Academy at First Baptist Church Greenwood, OH! Misty is a mom of 8 children and 16 grandchildren! She moved to Indiana from upstate New York in March. Here's a little more about Misty in her own words: "I am overjoyed to be working for Lionheart in a position that allows me to serve and share Christ with children, their families, and our fabulous staff. Pouring the Love of Christ into people and sharing the Gospel of Christ is truly my passion. In my "down time" I enjoy our little homestead and the multiple animals that we have. I have many hobbies including reading, crafting, sewing, and painting. I also play multiple instruments. Before I came to Indiana I was in management but also ran a 501c3 theater company and taught music lessons, voice and piano." We are so glad Misty said "Yes" to Lionheart and are excited to see her bless the academy in her new role!
