Katie Bennett

NextGen Support Staff

Katelyn Bennett has been attending FirstCovGR since 2006. She has been involved in youth ministry her whole life here at FirstCov and has attended Portage Lake Bible Camp since she was young. When Katelyn attended the Senior High Winter Retreat in February 2024, she felt God telling her to work at camp that summer. After she graduated from NorthPointe Christian High School, Katelyn worked at camp in the kitchen and had opportunity to counsel a cabin of 6th grade girls for a week. She also had the opportunity to attend UNITE EAST that summer with other high school students from FirstCov. During one of the worship sessions, she felt God calling her to youth ministry. Katelyn is excited to stay involved at FirstCovGR and intern with middle school students, working alongside Lauren Abrell, Josh Hinken, and the NextGen Team.

Katelyn loves spending time with students and has a passion for showing God’s love to others. This year, she is also nannying for a family in her neighborhood. Katelyn babysits for many families when she is free. Overall, she loves worshiping the Lord through music, going on walks, having game nights, doing Bible studies with friends, and going out for coffee with anyone that would like to chat.
