Angie Witmer

Minister. Integral Developmental Coach. Enneagram Teacher. Brain-Based Educator. Creator of "a-ha" moments.

Angie Witmer is the Minister for Young Adults and Youth at Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ (www.plymouthchurch.com) in Des Moines, Iowa. She started with Plymouth in the spring of 2000 and since that time has learned a few things, including: kids grow up way too fast and really need a faith community to bounce around in; kids grow up way too fast and their parents really need a faith community to help them raise their families; there is a lot of pain in the world and there is a lot of good in the world, too; and people genuinely crave relationship with one another and with God--the expression of that varies from person to person, but we're all looking for it.

Because of these and other tidbits of wisdom she has picked up over the years, Angie is passionate about creating community and building relationships with people in many different ministry settings, including: Saturday evening worship at Plymouth UCC, Plymouth's Head to the Heart confirmation program for 7th and 8th graders and their families, and Faith Stepping Stones, a birth-to-graduation program that enables parents and children to grow in love for God and each other (and themselves, too) by sharing their lives with one another every day.

Besides her work at Plymouth, Angie also works with the innovative folks at Faith Inkubators (www.faithink.com) in Stillwater, Minnesota as a workshop leader, trainer and system changer. She coaches other faith communities on how to teach and preach the way the brain learns (she certified as a brain-based educator/presenter through Jensen Learning Corporation in 2006) and coaches individuals and teams to live more whole, full and authentic lives through her work as an Integral Coach (Angie was certified as an Integral Coach through New Ventures West in 2011). Angie is currently working toward certification as an Enneagram instructor through The Enneagram Institute.
