Valerie Kauffman

Children’s Ministry Coordinator

Valerie has enjoyed being part of the LUMC community with her family since moving to Leamington a couple of years ago from the USA. She and her husband Ryan have three sons in high school or university. As the Children’s Ministry Coordinator, Valerie enjoys getting to connect with the children and families of LUMC through Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Children’s Features and other church activities. She appreciates the team of volunteers who spend time with the children, as well as the wider LUMC community which supports this important ministry.

In her free time, Valerie enjoys various creative projects, from crochet (especially tomatoes) to painting (the big tomato), along with occasional writing opportunities. She has fun supporting the work of MCC by volunteering at cash at Thrift on Mill one half day a week, even though she had to learn to make change with loonies and twoonies.
