Leah Nickel

Passionate about kids and Jesus, Leah Nickel serves as our Sparkies Coordinator and ministry intern.  Leah and her husband Samuel have served on the Spark team since 2015-16, getting married and growing their family as they've grown in churchplanting.  Now, they and their four children are charter members, and Leah has answered God's call to become a children's pastor! Enrolled in classes and receiving her first ministry license in March 2025, Leah is faithfully preparing for God's call while laying the groundwork for Sparkies kids ministry to grow in years to come.  Besides being the Sparkies Coordinator and ministry intern, Leah is also a loving and faithful wife and mother, a most trusted childcare worker, baker extraordinare, and one of Pastor Kelcie's nemeses in board games.
