Noah and Teresa Kerkvliet
LYO Leaders
Noah and Teresa Kerkvliet have been LYO leaders since March of 2022 and have been members at Bethlehem since 2012. Growing up in the community, Noah and Teresa enjoyed their experiences in their respective church youth groups growing up and wanted to develop a similar atmosphere for the kids at Bethlehem. Being a part of a community of faith in their youth will help kids to be a stronger part of the faith community as adults. Noah and Teresa strive to be inclusive and foster faith development no matter where a child is at in their faith journey.
