Heather Flies

Heather Flies is the Junior High Pastor at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Heather believes she was “knit together in her mother’s womb to be a Junior High Pastor!” Teenagers are her favorite people in the universe which is why she loves to teach them the Word of God is a straight-shooting, fun & truthful way.

Heather loves football, NASCAR racing, and country music. She owns 179 bottles of nail polish and 98 pairs of shorts (that she wears in the dead of Minnesota winters!). She is the daughter of a long distance truck driver, the youngest of six children, and married to her wonderful husband, Chad.

From The Deep

Hailing from New Brunswick, Christian rock band, From The Deep (FTD) has been performing throughout the Atlantic provinces since 2007. They have played for high school assemblies, youth conferences, as well as events hosted by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. FTD is made up of four people from unique musical backgrounds. Be it a high school assembly, church, or a town hall; whether it is a hard rock set or an acoustically driven ballad, maintaining the crowd’s attention is never an issue. Anyone who has witnessed FTD live will notice that meshed with the high energy music is a serious underlying theme.
