Christy collaborated with ADNet to expand the Conference Resource Library in North Newton, Kansas, to include helps for teaching students with developmental disabilities. This library serves the Western District  and South Central conferences of Mennonite Church USA. Along with contributing to ADNet’s mission, Christy coordinated this effort with her studies at Bethel College, North Newton, Kansas.

Christy is looking toward a career in elementary education and special education. Her enthusiasm about working with children who have disabilities extends to their faith development. “Special needs children deserved the same opportunity to hear the Word just like everyone else,” she asserts.
