Amy Myhand became Faith’s solo pastor in September 2021.
Amy holds a Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary. She has dedicated over two decades to vocational ministry, serving in leadership roles for churches both large and small. Devoting most of her ministry career to the faith formation of children and their families, she has also led in the areas of communications, adult discipleship, and missions.
In 2017, Amy felt called by the Holy Spirit to pursue ordained ministry, and fully and wholeheartedly places trust in God to use her as an instrument of reconciliation and a messenger of hope in the world.
A native Texan, Amy was born and raised in Eureka, Texas (population 297) and attended Baylor University. Upon graduation, she married her husband, Shayne. They have a daughter, Hazel, and two sons, Cole and Grant.
Amy loves anything recreational in and around water, including lap swimming. Her favorite leisure pursuits are reading, listening to podcasts, trying new restaurants, attending live theatre, and connecting with others over a cup of coffee or breakfast tacos.
