Nicole Raden

Hello friends!  My name is Nicole Raden and I am the Children’s Ministry Director here at RCC.  Here is a little bit about me:  I grew up in Puyallup, WA and moved to Bellingham to go to college.  I met Jesus when I was 17, and since then He has been teaching me to have His eyes and heart for people in the community, especially for those who are in the midst of difficult life circumstances.  I graduated with a degree in Human Services in June 2007 from Western, and have been working at Rebound of Whatcom County ever since as the Flying Colors Tutoring Program Coordinator.  I have been loving, working with, and learning from children all my life.  Some of my experiences include working as a preschool teacher at Hillcrest Kids, a nanny, a counselor and administrator at Ray of Hope Summer Camp, and a support staff at Royal Family Kids Camp.
