Hi there!
My name is Andrea Coli (yes, I know it's spelled like e-coli, but it's pronounced "coley") OK...now that we got that straight...here's a little about me.
I've always loved being up in front of people, and once I learned that God gifts us in the ways that He wants to use us, I knew that He would use me through speaking and teaching.
Along the way two things happened ~ one that grounded me, and one that taught me the sky's the limit.
The one that grounded me with a solid Biblical foundation was my seminary experience at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA. There I felt affirmed in my call to ministry, I grew in my faith and understanding of scripture, and I met my husband Chris.
The one that stretched my limits and taught me that the unthinkable is possible, is the opportunity I had to be an Improviser on the Las Vegas Strip with The Second City. You may wonder what improvisation has to do with ministry - but you'll have to read my book to find out more about that. Let's just say that God has a great sense of humor and I try to follow suit.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area ~ specifically in the East Bay in Livermore. Chris and I have 2 daughters, Quinn and Kennedy. CrossWinds Church is our church home. Chris is the Senior Pastor and I work part time as a leader in the Creative Arts ministry and as part of our teaching team for our Sunday services.
Like many of you reading this right now, I wear a lot of hats in my day to day life. But one of the things I love the most is getting to speak God's truth into people's lives. I am continually grateful for every opportunity that comes my way.
