Youth & Family Director
Hi! I’m Eliana, but eventually, my name always gets shortened to El or just simply E. I’m grateful to be serving at Christ Lutheran as Youth and Family Ministry Director. I am originally from the Chicago area but have called Dallas home since 2008. Minus the five years, I lived in the Middle East. I am a joyful, hope-filled person and love giving that hope and joy to others. I love patios, good food, and meaningful conversations. I hope to build relationships with families and individuals built on trust, confidence, understanding, and, most importantly, Jesus.

Nursery Attendant
Elise Valdez
I'll be tending to children three and under in the nursery on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. We love having children in worship, but we know they need a break occasionally. We'll have activities for children and youth on Wednesday night as well.
I am a junior biochemistry major and a Spanish minor. I also play soccer for the University of Dallas! I have four younger siblings with a little baby sister on the way, all of whom I love dearly. I also love baking, playing soccer, and volunteering with Kinetic Kids, a special needs program, when I have the time. I aim to become an international PA and plan to apply to PA schools next semester! I’m so excited to be a part of this team and to meet everyone!
