Lauren Januzik 

Youth Ministry Pastor

Born and raised in Central Illinois, Lauren is a lover of fall, pizza, bonfires, and starry nights. After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Advertising and International Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, she spent three years both teaching and doing youth discipleship in the wonderful city of Bogotá, Colombia. It was there that her love for youth ministry, Latin America, and the Spanish language deepened. After returning stateside, Lauren had the privilege of serving on a church staff in Wheaton, Illinois for a number of years in their youth and women's ministries. She is now in the process of getting a Master of Divinity at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Lauren is so thankful to be at Redeemer Life and can't wait to see how the Lord will continue to use the youth of this church for His glory and kingdom.
