H7 Story: A Growing-By-Learning-Mindset
Kaitlin Schubert faithfully serves on the Kids Team. Although she is based in Afton, she is often willing to step in and serve at other campuses whenever there is a need. She has also been involved in Monday Night Kids, consistently showing her commitment to the ministry.
One team ball nomination—from her sister-in-law and former Early Childhood Director, Samantha Schubert—shared this:“ She is a joy to serve with. She has served in Early Childhood for years and has continued faithfully through both ministry and life transitions. Even as circumstances have changed, her dedication and love for preschoolers—and her passion for teaching them the Bible—have remained constant. This is one of my all-time favorite serving stories: she literally served the night before giving birth to her first son! That’s some serious dedication." By the time this is published, she will likely have given birth to her second child—and once again, she will have served in Kids Ministry on the Sunday before giving birth, while nine months pregnant. That’s incredible dedication.
At Afton, you can often find Kaitlin pushing a heavy case full of kids’ supplies, carrying a baby, and serving with the joy of the Lord—all at once.
Ashleigh Reeves, who serves alongside Kaitlin at Afton, shared, “She is so patient and gentle with the kids. She truly cares about teaching them and comes prepared every time.”
Anna Sutton echoed that sentiment: “Kaitlin is an amazing volunteer at Afton. She has such a calming presence with the preschoolers and helps them understand the gospel on their level. She always shows up with a smile—and baby Michael in tow—ready to serve. We are so thankful for her!”
Cara Trantham has personally experienced Kaitlin’s faithfulness as a parent of four children in Kids Ministry. “Kaitlin is always so attentive to my children—from the moment we drop them off to the moment we pick them up,” she shared. “She knows their personalities and preferences. When I come to pick them up, she always tells me what they enjoyed, how they participated, or where they put in extra effort on a craft.” Cara also shared about challenges with one of her children during potty training: “She has never seemed frustrated or put off when caring for her needs. We are so thankful for her dedication to helping us raise the next generation of the church.”
