My name is Danielle and I am a lifelong member of Ottawa and have been involved in youth ministry for 8 years both as a volunteer and staff member. I have a love and passion for teaching students about Jesus and helping them grow deeper in relationship with Him. I strive to teach and model to students what God's Word says in the Great Commandment and Great Commission: Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples! I am a wife and mother of two young boys. I enjoy creating new memories with my family, hiking, camping, traveling, thrifting, and anytime spent with family and friends because life is precious! My favorite verse is Proverbs 16:9 that whatever I do, God will direct and guide my path and I can trust in Him!

The group puts on a number of different types of quality performances throughout the year. Shows range from full scale plays with singing and dancing at local theaters, to smaller performances during church worship services. ORC Players is open to any youth with or without experience. The group consists of a nice combination of experienced actors and actresses, and people with little to no experience. No auditions needed - just the desire to have fun & entertain!
