Lauren was raised in Central Florida, where she met her husband, Andy, and received her undergrad in Secondary English Language Arts Education from the University of South Florida. Before moving to Kentucky, the pair served together in Bradenton, FL where they had their two way-cool children, Ashton (11) and Cooper (8). In 2015, Andy became the Worship Arts Pastor at Severns Valley, and in 2017 Lauren became the Women’s Minister. Lauren loves the women in her care dearly and has a heart for teaching women how to fall more in love with King Jesus through an increased understanding of Scripture and the grand narrative it tells. Lauren is currently a student at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where she is studying Theology.

In her free time (lol), Lauren likes to sing, sew, and search the bargain racks at Gabe’s.
