Rachel Snavely

Rachel Snavely serves as CHN's Director of Children, Youth & Family Formation. She studied Bible and theology at Wheaton College and received a graduate degree in social work from the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She also holds a Certificate in Youth and Theology from the Institute for Youth Ministry at Princeton Theological Seminary. She previously worked in publishing, student development/higher education, public K-12 education, and social work, and she loves bringing all of that experience together to create a culture of belonging, growth, and connection for our children and youth here at CHN. 

​

Rachel enjoys reading, collecting creative hobbies, traveling, and spending time with friends and family, including many nieces and nephews. Her husband, Nick, is a firefighter with a wacky schedule, but you'll see him around the church as often as he can make it! At some point you may also meet their ferocious 13-pound senior dog, Maddie, and their happy-go-lucky pumpkin-patch puppy, Clover. Rachel and Nick are Ohio State fans but promise to be civil to fans of the team up north within the walls of CHN.
