I have always had a love for children and am so thrilled to be serving the children of Impact Church. I have a master's degree in social work and plan to use this degree to serve the children in our community. I am blessed to be able to use my love and talent with children to serve the kingdom. When I am not working with children I am at the gym or doing something outside. My ideal day is spent in the sun out on the water..preferably on a boat.

ASHLEY WARREN

Women's Group Leadership

Raised in the Hampton Roads area, Ashley relocated to Northern Virginia in late summer 2015 for a job as a family law paralegal. She was introduced to Impact Church through a friend and immediately found a church home. Her job in the secular world has provided her the opportunity to share the love of Jesus to people in some of the hardest valleys of life.

Throughout the years, Ashley has had a desire to see the women of Impact Church and surrounding communities be connected—with Jesus and with each other. Connection with Jesus comes through reading His Word, praying, and being in community with other believers. She enjoys teaching Scripture to others and learning more about Jesus daily.

In her free time, Ashley enjoys reading, journaling, and weightlifting, but please - no cardio!
