Women's ministry update: welcome dana, our new women's director!

Hello beautiful ladies of Cold Springs Church! 

It is with both sadness and excitement that our family finds ourselves in a season of transition! I’ve been so blessed to be your Women’s Director this last year, and interim Worship Director prior to that! This year working for Cold Springs and in ministry has been nothing short of a miraculous, blessing me and my family in big ways. It’s been my honor and pleasure to dream and pray about the future of Cold Springs, to gather women in different capacities and listen to what the Lord would bring for our community. I’ve had many great relationships develop over this year, and loved seeing people come together in the name of Jesus to be there for one another.  

That being said, my husband and I have been praying for a full-time position where I am better able to mirror my children’s schedule. I am blessed to say the Lord answered that prayer and I have the great honor of teaching 3rd grade this year on their school campus! This is a huge blessing for our family at this time and I know God will use it to bless others. To say I’m sad about stepping out of ministry at our church would be an understatement. However, our family is still anchored, very much invested and will be involved heavily at Cold Springs moving forward, just in a volunteer capacity!

I’ll be officially stepping off staff this August, allowing for another amazing Godly woman to take the reins in this next chapter! It’s going to be wonderful! I’m available to answer any questions anyone may have. I have the utmost respect for our leaders at Cold Springs Church. They are God-fearing, God-loving servants, who want nothing more than to love like Jesus and further His kingdom. Thank you for investing in me, and allowing me to lead and learn with you this last year. See you soon!

Hello, my name is Dana Bringolf and here’s a little about me. I have been a passionate follower of Jesus Christ for over 30 years and I love His Church! I am married to Walter (33 yrs) and mom to Isaac, Joel and his wife Alexis, and Abigail and her husband Shane. I love to teach, and have 12 years of teaching experience in elementary schools. One of my favorite parts of teaching has been collaborating with parents in their parenting journey. I especially love supporting moms! Currently, I am a full-time caregiver and advocate for Isaac, our son who has special needs. 

While I have served churches in many different ministries over the past 30 years (children’s, missions, worship, prayer team…), the majority of my years of service has been in Women's Ministry, and I can truly say, I love it!

My heart’s desire for all women (including myself), is that we would recognize our value as image-bearers of God and grow more and more into the likeness of Jesus Christ as we live out each day. I believe one way we can accomplish this is through gathering together to create an authentic, Jesus-centered community where we encourage one another in our faith and God-given gifts and callings. I am excited to join in the work God is already doing in our community and look forward to this new season of adventure in leadership.
