My name is Elena Pedersen; my husband Joel and I have the privilege of leading the Youth Group at Birch Ridge Community Church. We love getting to work with teens, and help grow their personal relationships with the Lord! In my free time I like to hike, exercise and read! 

My favorite Bible verse in this season of life is 2 Corinthians 12:9 —“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
