Biographies

Rechelle Bringard

Rechelle was born here in Colorado, but as an Air Force brat, spent much of her young life moving. She came to Christ at the age of 17, and it changed her whole perspective on existence. Gone was the empty longing, replaced with a God-breathed purpose. The knowledge that she is fearfully and wonderfully made has shaped the trajectory of her life ever since. She met her husband Kevin in college while they were both attending Point Loma Nazarene University. In the early years of their marriage, before children, they enjoyed many opportunities to travel together, both for adventure and ministry. Currently her days are wrapped up in the ebb and flow of raising three young children to follow The Lord. One of Kevin and Rechelle’s principle goals is a home full of guests, laughter, and food. They share a passion for community, and thrive in relationships with Christians that challenge and encourage them to grow into the people God has created them to be.

Through her work as a Speech Pathologist, she found her passion in working closely in relationship with people to help them realize the power they always had within them. The development of this interpersonal connection became a catalyst to see women developed to be leaders in their churches and communities. Rechelle loves the beautiful role God has crafted for women in His Kingdom and desires to help others step into their place in His story. God has used her gifting to encourage and mentor others, serve on the Connect Team at MSC West, as a life group leader, children’s ministry lead, organize VBS for 2,000 children in India as well as her in her neighborhood, and she currently serves as a member of the Advanced Discipleship and Leadership Coaching Team.

Reneé Hogan

Reneé Hogan was born in Stoughton, WI.  She didn’t stay there long as she has had at least 28 addresses in her lifetime taking her to all parts of the United States. With the number of lifetime moves, she has had the opportunity to visit all 50 states and a few countries as well!  In addition to her wanderlust, Renee’ has a passion for people, learning, teaching, and observing the world around her.  She thrives in her home with her husband, Ray, 4 kids, a dog, a gerbil, a mouse, and whoever happens to be resting their heads in her home.  Coming to the Hogans’ house is always an adventure with one never knowing who might be at the door or the dinner table –proof that people want relationship and the food is just a by-product of community.

 

Renee has a passion to teach Christians to see the world changed through an individual’s acknowledgment of her ability to impact the world right where she exists.  It is said that 95% of people would rather be in a coffin than speak at a funeral – her desire is to see that 5% of the population who are ready to stand up and lead, lead for Christ – this would flood our world with the love, passion, and the example of Christ.  Her life’s experiences as a division director of the March of Dimes, a sponsor of the Institute of Cultural Communicators, a leader of woman through various discipleship programs, as a Community Life Director at Mountain Springs Church West, and as a member of the Advanced Discipleship and Leadership Coaching Team have developed her recognition of one person’s impact on their spheres.

Karalyn Mullins

Karalyn Mullins is a native of Colorado. She was blessed to grow up in Colorado Springs with Christian family surrounding her. Karalyn met her husband when she was 18 as they worked side by side in youth ministry internships. They have been married nine years and have three wonderful and busy children. They have attended Mountain Springs Church for nine years and have been are currently a part of the West Campus family. She minored in Youth Ministry, feeling a call to part or full time ministry. God nurtured that passion and called Karalyn to teach high school in the public school. Over her decade of experience, Karalyn’s passion for human trafficking has led her to develop curriculum to empower students to use their strong voices to help those that have none. She has worked with leadership groups in developing Empathy Week and Eyes Wide Open at her school.

Karalyn’s love for literature extends outside the classroom to the story that God is telling throughout history. She is a firm believer in the power of story in the lives of individuals, families, nations and generations. God is weaving together the ultimate story of love and adventure. Karalyn desires to reach out to the broken places where people long and ache for something deeper, something bigger than themselves---God’s story. It is from this desire that Karalyn has been involved as a Young Life Leader, middle school and high school youth leader, Children’s Life volunteer, and currently serves on the team for Advanced Discipleship and Leadership Coaching.
