Becca Kreutz

Director of Youth Ministry

becca@mtvpc.org

Becca came to Mountain View in 1996 when her father, John, was hired as senior pastor. She counts it a privilege to have grown up here, and dearly loves the church God has led Mountain View to be. She finds it remarkable that after six years living in Illinois (during which time she attended Wheaton College and the Chicago College of the Performing Arts), God would lead her back to this community, and this church, which have become so precious to her. Becca lives in Marysville with her husband Jason, the mad scientist, and her two children, Levi and Elsie. She writes songs, sings more minutes of the day than not, and is ever on the hunt for God-adventures. (Consequently, she feels that young people are ideal travel buddies for this kind of adventuring).
