Mieke has been attending Beechwood since 1990 and recently joined our staff in 2021 as the CHO (Chief Hospitality Officer) or Connection’s Coordinator as some may say. Mieke is FUN and her joy spills over into our team and community. She has a knack for coming up with big ideas and her constant creativity benefits everyone. Mieke’s love for all people is evident beginning with her Husband, Aaron, and kids: Lorelei, Arlo, and Autumn. Her self-declared FOMO keeps her busy as she packs each day with as many activities and people as possible. When not at church Mieke is probably doing, well, anything honestly, but her favorites include: throwing parties, being a mom, crafting and sewing, playing games, taking long walks, and laughing.
“The people of Beechwood have cared for me through some of the happiest and saddest times of my life. Spending time with people in our church, serving together, eating together, worshiping together is extremely important to me. Good community celebrates together and enjoys spending time together.”
