Preschool Ministry Team


Kelsey WalkKelsey Walk
Co-Director of Preschool Ministry

Kelsey began with the student ministry in the fall of 2014. A Trussville native, Kelsey grew up at First Baptist. She began her time on staff with us as the Student Ministry Assistant, but her love for preschoolers and enthusiasm soon made her the obvious choice to take over at Director of Preschool Ministries.

A product of Hewitt-Trussville High School, Kelsey graduated from Auburn in Human Development and Family Studies, later marrying her high school sweetheart, Matt Walk in May of 2014.

She loves the outdoors, hiking and snow skiing in-particular, and enjoys spending time with family, friends, and worshiping Jesus!


Rachel DickeyRachel Dickey
Co-Director of Preschool Ministry

Rachel joined our staff in the winter of 2019. She originally hails from Grapevine, Texas, but an opportunity to play volleyball led her across country to UNC-Asheville where she later graduated with a business degree in 2011.

While at school in North Carolina she met her husband Matt, who played basketball there. Matt’s roots here in Trussville eventually led them back home, and that’s why we get to be blessed by Rachel today! She and Matt have three active sons together! Matt is our Minister to Middle School Students.

When she’s not busy directing the Preschool ministry, Rachel loves spending time with her family and friends, and watching movies and playing volleyball when she has time.
