MEET YOUR FLC COUNCIL MEMBERS!
Jessica Campbell

What are your favorite things about Farmington Lutheran?
My favorite thing about FLC is always feeling welcome and building community through the many different interactions created at FLC.

Tell us about your family/your dear ones.

My husband, David and I have been married for 15 years. God blessed us with our children; 12 year old twins, Ali and Xavier and 6 year old Odin.

What is your dream vacation?
My dream vacation would be anywhere without cell service so I can truly disconnect. While I enjoy the warmth of the sun, I am not a heat lover so nothing too tropical.

Describe your hobbies or how you like to spend free time.
I enjoy spending most of my time with family or friends. As a family, we enjoy camping, having bonfires and watching movies. When I get alone time, I enjoy reading and completing jigsaw puzzles, word finds and Sudoko.

What is/was your profession?
I am a supervisory examiner at a federal agency that regulates the Farm Credit System, which lends money to agriculture throughout the country.

What is your favorite holiday? Why?
I don’t have a favorite holiday but enjoy spending them all with family and building traditions.

- Pray for the children, youth, families, volunteers, and staff.
- Provide donations of needed supplies.
- Create props for us to use inside and outside. Need items back, let us know. Ask Dawn for some ideas.
- Volunteer to help decorate, cut out projects (paper, yarn, etc.) shop
- Check out our wish lists on Amazon and SignUpGenius.
