Phil is a self-proclaimed coffee snob and would love nothing more than to meet with you over a good cup of coffee.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30Laura Tait - Wave's Kids Director
“What excellent boiled potatoes. Many years since I have had such an exemplary vegetable." - Movie: Pride & PrejudiceMiss Laura has been attending LHC since Spring 2024. She grew up in McHenry and later graduated from Belhaven University, Jackson, MS with a degree in Art. Miss Laura has always had a heart for kids and a desire to help them grow and experience God. Throughout her life God has led her to serve in children’s ministries, youth ministries, and to teach at Christian summer camps and Christian Youth Theater. God later led her to teach at a private Christian school in South Korea, which became a huge step in her growth as a teacher. As Wave’s Director she desires for kids to be rooted in God’s Word, discover who they are in Christ, develop a heart for missions, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. She is excited to partner with God and wants Wave’s Kids to be a ministry where we make Friends who become Family, have fun and grow in Faith together.
