Liz has been participating in church music since she was in 2nd grade. From playing piano, flute, and handbells to singing in choral, gospel, a capella, and praise groups, she has always found joy in praising God through music. During high school and college, she toured with the Rapture Ringers and Kokopelli Handbell choirs. Before moving to Denver, she was the Music Director at the Western Colorado Performing Arts Conservatory for 2 seasons and the Pit Director of the inaugural season of the Greenshoe Theater Company. She has been teaching piano, flute, bassoon, and more for 25+ years. She and her husband, Brian, have been attending St. James since 2002. They now attend with their 3 sons.

Kimberly has been working in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 20 years, 15 years in a leadership position. She has a Bachelor’s in Dance and a Master’s Degree from DU in Educational Administration with an emphasis in Early Childhood. She is also a certified Early Childhood Trainer and Coach. She believes that early childhood is a special time where the joy of learning, the importance of loving relationships, and a strong, supportive community is key to setting a foundation for life. She finds that this is especially meaningful to children and families when learning happens in an environment that is rooted in faith and God’s love. Originally from Southern California, she and her family have been in Colorado since 1999. She and her husband have two grown daughters, one in college and one married and living in Colorado Springs. Her favorite Bible verse is from Ezekiel 36:26, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”
