Laurel Grimes

Children’s Discipleship Director 

Laurel is passionate about children’s ministry and helping kids to experience God and grow in their personal relationships with Christ.

Laurel graduated with a B.S. in Youth and Family Studies from Nyack College (now known as Alliance University) in 2018 and has served at First Alliance as their part-time Children’s Discipleship Director ever since. Matthew 18:1-5 is Laurel’s go-to verse when it comes to leading in children’s ministry. She has a deep desire to see children the way Christ sees them, and help others to do the same. Laurel loves spending time with her friends and family, going for walks, creating, organizing, and traveling.
