Derek Howell | Family Ministry
About Derek:
“I have lived in San Diego my entire life, living anywhere from Santee, Carmel Mountain, San Carlos, Mission Valley, La Mesa and currently El Cajon. I graduated from Helix High School and then went to SDSU where I joined Alpha Gamma Omega, a Christian Fraternity. While in AGO I heard about Indian Hills Camp so I decided to serve there for the next three summers as a counselor, lead counselor and head counselor. My nickname from AGO and IHC is Ratchet because I like to build things and do home improvement projects. Through AGO and IHC I met and fell in love with my wife of now seven years, Mandy. We have two cats named Summer and Autumn.”
It’s Saturday night-where are you and what are you doing?
Currently in my life I am doing one of two things. 242 Group on the first and third weeks and homework on the other weeks. I am currently working towards a Master of Arts in Children and Family Ministry.
If Derek’s going to Starbucks, he’s getting:
White chocolate mocha or a caramel frappuccino
Favorite part of your job?
I love all the support from all the staff, we are family. We work with each other to push ourselves to new areas of ministry and a deeper walk with God. I am excited to work with our church families to spiritually form their children. I am looking forward to becoming more of a home centered ministry, supporting families any way possible.
