Our Vision
To see women transformed by the Gospel, thus changing lives for generations to come.
Our Story
“The story of Selah Creek, in a lot of ways, is our own. My husband, Kevin, and I met when we were teenagers and dated off and on for years. Back then, there wasn’t much about our relationship that was healthy. We both had pretty messed up priorities and chose self-destructive behaviors over the lives we actually wanted. We spent four years trying to make things work, then decided to go our separate ways. Shortly after, I found out I was pregnant.
I was 19 and had never felt so afraid. Would I mess my kid up? Could I even be a good mom? And how could I parent without a boyfriend? There were so many doubts and fears. But you know what I learned? That God is really kind. And when we ask Him to, He WILL show up. God gave me the strength to choose life for my baby boy and, in the process, used his life to save mine.
Then came the early stages of parenting. Navigating it separately was messy, but we both had families who were willing to help. They were our tribe. They taught us how to soothe a crying baby, how to discipline, how to sleep-train, and most importantly, how to love our child. Without them, I don’t know where we would be today.
Not every co-parenting relationship ends this way, but along the way, God brought Kevin and I back together. We got married, and after a few more kids, felt God calling us into a new season of life and ministry.
The vision for Selah Creek started as one question that neither of us could ignore: What happens to the mamas who don’t have a tribe of people to help them? …Who shows them like our families showed us?
Now, after years of research, conferences, writing handbooks, and even caring for pregnant women through shepherding homes, Selah Creek is a reality—a home, offering safety, care, and gospel-centered support to women in need.”
