We are thrilled to welcome Christy VanVleck to the EFC staff as our new Children’s Ministry Assistant Intern for the 2025–2026 ministry year!
Christy will serve as a vital part of our Sunday morning team, greeting families and helping with check-in stations downstairs. She has already played a major role in relaunching the toddler room, which had been closed since the 2022 flood in the children’s wing. Her energy, experience, and heart for children’s ministry are such a blessing to our church community.
Christy brings with her a strong background in children’s ministry—from nursery care and Awana leadership to teaching VBS and mentoring kids in faith through outreach programs. She and her husband Nate, a Navy serviceman, moved to Newport with their three children and quickly became a part of our EFC family.

Let’s give Christy and her family a warm EFC welcome as they step into this new season with us!
