Lifeline Staff

Lifeline Pregnancy Resource Center has been serving the greater Nampa for over 40 years.

Client Services Director

Bookkeeper

Before I became a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two wonderful children I worked at some banks and for an accountant. I learned that I thoroughly enjoy the detail-oriented art of bookkeeping. Now that my children are older, I've been able to take on some part time work and was given the opportunity to use my gifts at Lifeline. I've worked for various companies over the years, but this is the first time for a place that has such a positive and life-saving impact in the community. I love being able to support the work at Lifeline! When I have a few free moments, I enjoy crocheting and watching cooking shows with my hard-working husband.

No Regrets Facilitator 

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. We have two incredible children, Paige, who is 26 and recently married, and David, who is 17. I had the privilege of serving as Director of the Bakersfield Pregnancy Center, where I found my passion for working with teens. I later served as the ministry leader for the Battleground of Purity, as well as the HANDS Ministry, an outreach that supports families in need. For the past twenty years, I have been an inspirational speaker, sharing stories of God’s grace and mercy. As someone who loves nature, you can often find me on the river, paddleboarding or kayaking with my family. I am so grateful to be a part of the No Regrets program and looking forward to serving as a facilitator.

HR Coordinator/No Regrets Assistant

I'm currently working with the No Regrets crew here at Lifeline. I grew up in the church and have known the Lord my entire life. I have a bachelor's degree in communications, am a professional musician, and have traveled and lived various places over the years, including New Zealand. Treasure Valley in the newest adventure. The mission of Lifeline is an important one and it has been able to bless many in the community. There is a great crew at Lifeline and it's a blessing to get to know each of these workers and volunteers who truly care about each person who walks through these doors.

Embrace Grace Advocate

Post Abortion Recovery Coordinator

Hello!  After serving Christ for 11 years at Lifeline as a Client Advocate, I felt lead to except the this position in Post Abortion Care. The Lord directed my heart and dedication to help women and families find peace and forgiveness through Christ Jesus; to receive his abundant grace and love after abortion.  Healing enables them to live freely for the joyful plans Christ has for each of us.  Many women live with shame, guilt, regret and/or anger.   It was only by the encouragement from Lifeline staff that I was encouraged to move forward in obedience to be set free from my own experiences.  My previous choices had led me to secrecy, unworthiness and self-condemnation.  I have now been freed to live for Christ Jesus and his divine plan for me.

Registered Nurse, Lead

Hi!  I feel very blessed to be part of the Lifeline team! I am an RN but most of my experience is in critical care and ER. After working for about 9 years, I had the privilege of being a stay at home mom where I homeschooled my 3 kids from pre-school through high school. Toward the end of the homeschooling years, I started working in high school ministry at my church. After four years of that I felt the Lord leading me in a new direction, which brought me to Lifeline. This is a very new experience for me, and I am so eager to have the privilege of sharing the hope of Gospel with our clients. 

Programs Manager

Lifeline Community Liaisons

Fatherhood Representative (Monty)

We were married on Valentine's Day in 1982 and have two grown, married children, Lucas & Bethanie Wheeler and Ryan Sears. We also have four grands...Jaida, Jaxon, Brighton, and Jazlyn who bring us joy every day. We have been in full-time ministry for over 32 years pastoring only 3 churches during our tenure. After 15 years as Senior Pastors, we passed the baton of leadership at Christian Faith Center in June 2021...a dynamic 7 campus church in Nampa, Idaho.  This has allowed us to take our wealth of experience and knowledge to other churches and organizations around the nation to energize and inspire them towards unprecedented growth and health. We have founded Dream Builder Ministries to pursue this endeavor. Monty was almost aborted in 1959 and that knowledge has shaped his life and the life of our family. We have devoted ourselves to the pro-life cause and count it a privilege to have the opportunity be a part of the Lifeline staff.

Operations Director/Fatherhood Lead

Hello, I am honored to serve our great community as the Operations Director and Fatherhood Lead. I am a retired Army Warrant Officer with 20 years of active-duty service, and I passionately support Lifeline’s mission. My wife Leah, a pastor, and I have five children. Throughout our two decades of marriage, we have served in ministry side by side, and our children also love to join us in that service.

I am grateful for the opportunity to use the experience from both my military career and years in ministry to serve Lifeline as the Operations Director. It is also my pleasure, and truly a fulfillment of my calling, to serve the men of our community through our fatherhood program. As a father myself, I know that we are not meant to walk the fatherhood journey alone. My aim is to stand alongside the other fathers in our community, offering support, encouragement, and guidance whenever needed.

No Regrets Facilitator

Hello everyone! I’m Lulu. I am so excited to be a part of the Lifeline team, and I’m looking forward to working in the No Regrets program.

Executive Director, RN

Hello! I am honored to be the Executive Director at Lifeline. I wish I could sit down with you and tell you all the many stories that are in my heart from the last 20 plus years of volunteering and working at this yellow house on 12th Avenue.
There is much work to be done and we are SO blessed to live in such a generous and loving community. We have weekly phone calls from women requesting abortion services. Often, they will come in for a free ultrasound and make a life changing decision. Often, we are able to share Christ, and someone will come to know Jesus. Your prayers, volunteer work and donations make a DIFFERENCE. If we all give some, we can see BIG change.
The NESTING PLACE Maternity Home is our most recent ministry project. This home will make deep and lasting changes in the lives of babies, mothers, fathers and their immediate families. Join in this quiet and yet SO urgent cause. You won't regret it!
