5th – 6th Grade Classes

4th/5th Bible

Mrs. Lemau

I am so excited to be teaching 4/5 grade Bible this year. I have been blessed to serve in children’s ministry in a variety of roles for the past 20 years. I love creating lessons filled with hands-on activities and creative adventures that help bring God’s Word to life and encourage children to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

My husband and I have been married for 23 years, and he serves as the Senior Pastor of The Anchor Church (Calvary Chapel Gilroy). We have five incredible children, and when we’re not at church or school, you’ll almost always find us at the baseball field cheering on our four boys. My hobbies include crafting just about anything, and I love all things fall….cozy sweaters, changing leaves, and anything pumpkin!

My prayer is that every child who walks through our doors feels loved, welcomed, and excited to learn more about who Jesus is.
