Where young hearts can discover God's love.
"As parents we love the Kids Ministry for our toddlers. We have felt welcomed from the very first day. The greeters who check us in are always smiling and looking for ways to connect with us. The teachers in the classrooms remember our kids’ names and welcome them with smiles. When we pick up they give us pertinent information about their time together. We can’t thank you enough for making church a safe and happy place for our children. They’re learning to love God and love people and we are truly thankful." - Cynthia & Gabe, IBC Parents

Michelle Garza currently serves as the Early Childhood Director for IBC’s Kids ministry. Every week, (with the help of some amazing volunteers) she ensures that kids from birth to fifth grade experience the love of Jesus. Her job consists of a lot of crayons, a lot of coffee, and we’re pretty sure a lot of jewels on her crown in heaven. Michelle lives in Roanoke with her husband John-Michael, two kids, and two cats. When she’s not working, she loves to be outside (unless it’s over 90 degrees, then count her out). Her prayer for IBC is that the people who walk through our doors would find a deep relationship with Jesus, feel accepted just as they are, and find joy in serving others.

AJ Jerkins serves as Elementary Director, tasked with overseeing the discipleship of 1st-5th graders at IBC. A native Texan, AJ studied architecture at A&M University and currently lives with his wife Joseline in Irving. In his free time he loves movies, games, and playing basketball. AJ's favorite thing about working at IBC? "I love the intentionality that IBC has for embracing and biblically empowering all people. The staff oozes passion and enthusiasm for the kingdom of God."

Samantha serves as the backbone of our Kids team through her work preparing materials, planning special events and onboarding our amazing volunteers. She loves seeing kids' faces light up as they learn the truth of the gospel, and counts it as a joy to get to see volunteers pouring into the youngest members of the church. Sam currently lives in Irving and has been attending IBC since 2005, when she was a kid herself! In her free time, she loves trying out new restaurants or eating at one of her favorites—Texas de Brazil. If she could encourage someone considering getting involved at IBC, she'd point them to Connection Center. It's a great place to get started and to meet our wonderful hospitality team!
