Christie Moore
First Love House of Prayer / Women’s Ministry Facilitator
[email protected]

For the past 28 years, Christie has served in leadership of children’s, youth, and worship ministries. Additionally, the Lord has shifted Christie into her most vulnerable calling — pouring out both the Father’s heart and hers to women. She shares the journey the Holy Spirit has lead her through, the healing Jesus has brought, and the lessons learned from the perspective of the Father’s heart for His sons and daughters.  

At the age of nineteen the Lord taught her how to lead worship with one statement, “Connect so intimately to Me that it is contagious to those around you.” Today, she takes that same heart into her ministry to help women connect with the healing love of Jesus, the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit, and our true identities as a son or daughter of The King.
