Wayne:
I grew up in the small town of Castle Rock, Washington. Raised in a Christian home and attended a private Christian school from 4th grade through graduation. I felt called to be a youth minister my 8th grade year and was involved in student leadership at my youth ministry from 9th grad on. I joined the Navy after high school and didn't pursue the Youth ministry thing much for the first couple years I was in the service. Shortly after I got stationed in San Diego I met Nicole at one of the churches down here. We decided that we would make Harvest our home church (she’d grown up at Harvest). I then went on a six month deployment and shortly after I returned Nicole and I were married. We started off helping in the children’s ministry for about a year and had a great time with that. Then Pastor Ralph talked to us about teaching the Jr. Highers. Nicole and I are blessed to be at Harvest and we love working with your kids.


Niki:
I grew up in Alaska for my childhood for about 10 years. Mostly I grew up in San Diego, I went to school up north for a year and I finally got my Bachelor’s Degree in 2004. Grew up in a Christian home and got saved when I was 7. I didn’t have a calling like Wayne and I guess God knew I would be doing something with him. :) I met Wayne when I went to another church for a year, Horizon, and he happened to be looking for a church too. I’m looking forward to ,in God’s timing, work in my field, Zoology but I chose to have a family first so we have Annabelle!
