Alexandra Straughter
Alexandra recently joined the staff at DAYFC as a SW Denver Parent Life Site Director after volunteering for 2 years with Pregnant and Parenting Teens through DAYFC and bringing her 5 years' experience starting and leading a Teen MOPS in Denver. As a Denver native she loves that she gets to partner with the same community she grew up in- to do the ministry God has placed on her heart. Her passion and deep desire are to bring hope, love, trusted support, and most of all the knowledge of a true relationship with Jesus to young parents, their children and the youth that so desperately need it.
She holds a license in Therapeutic Healing Touch Massage and has held space and provided holistic care to help in the healing process of her clients. She believes much of the knowledge she has learned while in school and gained through her experience can translate over to holding space in a holistic, trauma-informed setting for our youth.
Alexandra relates to most of the young Moms she will walk alongside with, because she too was a young mom at the tender age of 15. “I want them to feel no shame and no judgment for being who they are; letting them know how much God loves and sees them just where they are, while He also wants to guide them through life and transform their heart.” She deeply believes in the change that can happen when we build trust to walk with them, allowing God's light to break in.
She is a proud mom of three boys Micah, Malachi, Messiah. Her husband’s name is Charlie; wonderful, supportive, and loving. She cherishes her intimate time with God and loves quality family time. Some of her favorite things include collecting indoor plants and gardening during the summer. She also really enjoys cooking, baking, and creating in the kitchen as well as going to the beautiful mountains.
By being the hands and feet of Jesus and sharing the redemption He has brought to her own life, she believes He will use her to encourage the youth to hold on to His hope for a great future.
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Eph 3:20
