Mrs. Lis Miedema
Outdoor Education and TfT Coach
Hi! My name is Lis Miedema and I graduated from Wheaton College with a BA in Elementary Education and Spanish. Prior to Muskegon; Holland, MI; Wheaton, IL; and Managua, Nicaragua have held special places in my heart and have been a form of home to me. God brought me to MCS in 2013 and it’s been such a blessing teaching 4th grade here for 11 years and now instructional coaching. I absolutely love kids and education. It is truly a joy working in a Christian school; I feel blessed being able to talk openly about Christ with students and coworkers and seeing the joy that He brings to this place.
When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband David, hiking and camping, being in, on, or near the lake, reading, cooking, playing games and anything with family and friends. We are filled with joy and excitement as we anticipate meeting our sweet baby in December! We can’t wait to meet him or her!
Some special Bible verses to me are Philippians 4:6-7, Jeremiah 29:13, and Psalm 62: 1-2.
My deep hope is that we develop an authentic love for Christ, the One who loves us most, and that our love moves us to joyfully be like Christ and bring shalom to the world.
Favorite Verse:
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
