Hello! My name is Jaimie Shires. I am so excited to meet all the youth of the church. I have been a church nerd since I was a child. At 16 I was in leadership positions already. I was certain I would be a church professional someday. After college, I worked as the Director of Christian Education for Highlands United Presbyterian Church for 7 years, then as the Children’s Ministry Director for Palms Presbyterian Church before coming home to be a full-time mother over the last 9 years. I am happily married to CJ and have two beautiful children, Hunter and Hayden . My passions and strengths lie in building and forming community, energizing and motivating groups and individuals to live more intentionally and authentically, finding humor and meaning in everyday life. She is driven by the need to find the sacred in the ordinary and has a deep appreciation for the power of story.
