Ashleigh Beamer
|
Ashleigh graduated from Northwest Missouri State University in December 2018 with a double major in Psychology and Human Services. She is originally from Platte City, MO. Ashleigh got involved with this ministry when she came to Northwest in 2015 and has since filled many different roles such as leading worship and being a Life Group leader. Her plan coming to Northwest was to graduate and start her Master’s as quickly as possible. Those plans, however, changed when she found her place at the Lighthouse as a worship leader and fell in love with the people God had placed in her life, people she didn’t know she originally needed in her life. Although her goal was to still start her Master’s quickly, God had other plans for her. She has known that she wanted to work in ministry in some capacity and felt that God was calling her to stay at Northwest continuing to invest in the lives of the students at the end of the Spring 2019 semester. This year, Ashleigh will be leading the Worship Team and mentoring girls at the Lighthouse. Ashleigh loves coffee, reading, and ice cream. She loves hanging out with her nephew (pictured), niece, and siblings.

Shelby will be graduating from Northwest Missouri State University in December of 2019 with her Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Biology. She is originally from Peculiar Missouri, a small town just south of Kansas City. Shelby came to Northwest in 2015 with plans to graduate as soon as possible and be a zookeeper. Plans changed however when she was called to care for God's people rather than His animals. Her future career plans now are a bit unknown but she has a passion for the marginalized people in our culture, such as the elder or those who struggle with mental illness. This year Shelby is leading the Women's Discipleship team as well as mentoring several girls at the Lighthouse. She became very involved with this ministry her sophomore year and has since filled many roles on the leadership team, including being a Life Group leader. She has found a passion for one on one discipleship through mentoring women and being mentored at the Lighthouse and is excited about continuing to help others grow and mature in their faith. Shelby loves spending time with her husband, Christian, and their two dogs, Hank and Waylon. She loves bears, chocolate ice cream, scuba diving, and watching movies.
