Kirsty-Lee grew up in Portadown and even though First Portadown was not her home church, she spent much of her childhood attending the Sunday School here. It was through Edenderry CE that Kirsty-Lee came to faith and continued to attend CE into her early twenties when her first daughter was born.

Kirsty-Lee studied Early Childhood Studies at Stranmillis University College and spent 12 years working as a Playgroup Leader in an Early Years setting in Dungannon. In 2018 Kirsty-Lee took a leap of faith and answered God’s call to say goodbye to her work with children and take up the role of Church Administrator. Kirsty-Lee is also the Female Pastoral Worker.

Kirsty-Lee is married to David and they have three children, Leah, Charlotte and Ryan.
