Tracy was born and raised in San Diego, and began working in children’s ministry at the young age of 14. Since then, she has more than 30 years of experience working with every age from preschool to junior high. She loves working with children because it gives her an excuse to be silly and have fun! She also has a passion for sharing the great news with kids that Jesus loves them and can make an amazing difference in their lives. In June, 2013 she joined the church staff as the children’s ministry director. She enjoys developing, coordinating, and maintaining the children’s programs here at our church.  For the last three years, she has also enjoyed developing missions programs for the church, including trips to both Mexico and Guatemala.   She feels truly honored to share in the wonderful work that the Lord is doing and to be part of such a dynamic and caring staff!  She is very blessed to share life with her husband of more than 30 years, Scott.   Their two children, Justin and Kylie, live just down the hill.

Originally from the San Gabriel Valley, Mrs. Vickey has been working with children in different capacities since 1985.  She initially discovered her love for children while she was in college studying photography.
