Nicole Young heard the gospel at a young age but chose a dark prodigal road that left her as a single teenage mom: depressed, desperate, and lost. For years, her life continued to spiral out of control into more brokenness, sin, and darkness. BUT GOD! In 2005, God radically transformed her heart with the life changing good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Giving her a new identity, a new hope, and a new story. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Since that time, Nicole has had an increasing burden to see women rooted and grounded in Christ for their salvation and to find their true identity in Him alone. She loves being able to pour into women, young and not so young, through one-on-one and group discipleship, as well as serving as a youth group leader, women’s group leader and marriage group leader alongside her husband, Preston.

Nicole and Preston are from Polk City, Iowa, where they enjoy their time with their four teenage and adult children, and their three-year-old grandson, Wesley. If Nicole and Preston aren’t trying to get away for a hike somewhere in the mountains, you will find her reading a book, trying to label and organize everything in her house (yes, clothes definitely look prettier in rainbow order), or drinking endless cups of coffee.
