Chelsea grew up in a ministry household and began serving at a young age when her family helped plant Open Bible Praise Center in Boonville, Missouri. She played bass and sang on the worship team and served as a youth leader during her undergraduate years at the University of Missouri. Chelsea briefly stepped away from ministry to focus on her career as a Certified Child Life Specialist, supporting children and families through trauma, new diagnoses, grief, and loss, while continuing her education in Applied Behavior Analysis.

In 2018, Chelsea returned to ministry, leading worship and youth at the Praise Center before transitioning to become the Worship Leader at West Des Moines Open Bible. In 2024, her personal healing journey inspired a passion for helping others experience freedom and walk in their God-given identity through inner healing and deliverance. She serves as Vice President and Treasurer of Arise to Freedom Ministries and is excited to see clients gain freedom through the ministry.

Chelsea also works as a Behavior Analyst, helping children develop social, cognitive, and behavioral skills while guiding families to best support their child’s unique needs. She is passionate about combining her experiences in healthcare, behavior analysis, and ministry to bring hope, healing, and restoration to children, families, and communities.
