Byron Cothran
Senior Pastor
Shannon Cothran
Children's Minister
We are passionate about children's ministry at Northvale. I have been privileged to help lead our children's programs for seven years now! Children's ministry, for me, is what I do at Northvale, but also what I do at my everyday job in the school. We currently use Lifeway curriculum, but we feel the greatest resources we have are the amazing volunteers who disciple our kids every week. Please reach out to me if you have any questions!
