Lauren Milburn, Youth Director. Lauren Milburn, our Youth Director, lives in Cedarburg with her husband David, who is an Architect and their three teenage children: Carolyn (in college), Meredith, and Eric. Lauren has always enjoyed working with kids, especially teens. Her passion with teens came along as she watched her own children experience and adjust to life as teens.

Her hopes are to establish a relationship with our youth and create open communication and trust.
