Preschool Ministry Team


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.

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!
