A graduate of UAB, she recently married her husband Drew before moving to Huntsville in the Spring of 2015. She is a determined self-starter with excellent organizational skills. A small-town girl from Alabama, Megan loves to paint, climb trees and look for four-leaf clovers.

Genia Miller
Kid's Church Director
256-883-0907 ext. 143 genia@willowbrook.org
A teacher at heart, Genia does a great job making sure our Kindergarten and 1st grade students experience God in a big way in our Kid's church program. She's been married to Jeff for 10 years and she uses her passion for teaching children to home school their 3 children. Her enthusiasm for what she does is contagious and the children in Kid's Church catch it from her every week!
Facilities:
The entire second floor of the church building is dedicated to preschoolers.
A covered drive-through lane at the rear of the building provides easy access to the preschool area. There is reserved parking for expectant mothers and those with babies in the rear parking lot near the back entrance. Two elevators on the preschool floor make it easier for parents with small children to move around inside the building. Just for fun, we have an indoor slide for preschoolers that connects our 2nd floor to the 1st floor! It's open immediately following the 10:45am service.
