Kaitlyn Moore
Interim Director of Children’s Ministry | Kaitlyn was born and raised in Massachusetts and has grown up attending church her whole life! She spent years pursuing a dance career both here in Massachusetts and Texas and has taught dance for twenty years. Her experience teaching children naturally drew her to serve in MERCYhouse's kids ministry and when an opportunity arose to jump into the interim director position she joyfully took that on, as it combined her love of teaching and serving the church.
