My name is Aleshia Ruehl, and I was born and raised in a small town in East Texas. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, and an elementary teaching certificate from the University of Texas at Dallas. My passion is engaging children in the beauty of God and his love, serving the community, watching and playing sports, reading, and traveling. My very supportive husband, and best friend, Martin and I have four wonderful children, Jordan, William, Natalie, and Alayna. When Martin and I stepped into the doors of High Pointe in 2015, we knew we’d found a church that shared our desire for Christ and connecting with others, and we never looked back. We jumped right into serving in the Children’s Ministry teaching bible classes and other leadership opportunities, and I’m thrilled that the Lord was so good to allow me to expand that role here at High Pointe!
