Elder (2010)
Worship Committee Chairperson
Heidi was born in Kirkland, Washington, and then grew up on a farm in the far northwest corner of Washington State. She became a Christian at a very young age and attended Zion Lutheran church with her family. During college, she recommitted her life to Christ and was active in Christian groups. Heidi also taught Sunday school and served as a Deacon at University Presbyterian Church, the largest Presbyterian church in the greater Seattle area.

After high school Heidi attended a small private college for two years where she played basketball and then completed her education in Broadcast Journalism, graduating from the University of Washington. Heidi worked in both radio and TV for the local ABC station before starting her own promotions based business.

Heidi met her husband, Fred, when their two small businesses (and ultimately the two of them) ended up working on the same projects. They have two daughters, Grace Ann, age 9, and Nicole, age 6, who love to come to Sunday school. They live up north in Anthem, so the commitment to come to Heritage is strong. Since they have no relatives locally, they enjoy the warmth of family relationships at church.

After being a Wife, a Mother and a friend to many, if there’s any spare time Heidi enjoys reading, traveling, and taking day-trip adventures with her family. One of her greatest joys is her 3rd career as a fitness instructor, where she helps others to lead healthy lives and feel good about themselves. The Arthritis Exercise class she teaches weekly at Heritage is terrific…she keeps us working without hurting ourselves. She also teaches fitness and exercise classes at the Country Club in Anthem.

As worship elder, Heidi hopes to work with Kris Albrecht to get children as excited about coming to the worship service as they are about Sunday school. This in turn might get more families with children involved in church. She would like to see the children lead a whole worship service.
