Justine Akinyi
Worship Ministry Leader
Originally from Kenya, Justine moved to Ames to pursue her undergraduate college degree. It was during this season that Jesus beautifully disrupted her plans, her hopes and the life she was pursuing, and gave her something much much better – His extravagant love, His transformative salvation and His covenant promise of an eternal life with Him. Furthermore, in response to her desire to be planted and rooted in a local church, God faithfully led her to the Body of Christ Church where she now serves as the leader of the worship ministry (Gospel Soul Innovators) and production team. Some of her favorite things about BCC include: the people we get to know and serve, our loving Pastors, our commitment to our values and the wonderful community we get to be a part of.
Justine is passionate about worship, servant leadership and building cultures where every1one is valued and empowered to be the Heart of God in our world. She enjoys cooking, eating, reading, napping, and dreaming of the day she’ll have a cat and a dog :).
