About Hannah…
Hannah and her husband, Reagan, met as students at North Greenville University. They started attending Ridgewood Church in 2015 and got married in 2017. After completing her degree in Elementary Education at NGU, Hannah joined the staff at Ridgewood in 2017. Hannah has always been passionate about kids ministry. Prior to working at Ridgewood Church, she served as a summer missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship for eight years and led as their Summer Ministry Coordinator for four of those years. Hannah and Reagan have three children: Judah, Silas, and Lydia. The Koschel family loves belonging to and serving the body of Ridgewood Church.
What do you love about serving at Ridgewood?
I love serving at a church that celebrates and supports parents as the primary disciple-makers in their homes. Our church does not create a lot of extra programs and events to take the place of the parent's role in their child's life. Rather, we seek to equip parents and encourage them to make gospel living a normal family rhythm in their home.
What do you do when you are not serving?
When I am not serving at church I enjoy hosting people in our home, talking over freshly brewed coffee/tea and warm chocolate chip cookies, and playing board games. I also love hanging out with family, listening to podcasts/audio books, and being outside.
Favorite book?
I’m currently going through the Anne of Green Gables series and enjoying it. I enjoy historical fiction, theology reads, and finding new kids books!
What’s Something People Might Be Surprised to Learn About You?
I love Latin culture! My parents were missionaries in Costa Rica before I was born but they kept the food, language, and other parts of the culture alive in our home growing up. I carried that with me and ended up minoring in Spanish in college and spent a summer studying Spanish in Guatemala. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t consider myself bilingual anymore because I’m so out of practice, but I’m always up for some good street tacos or tamales and you might occasionally find me listening to some Reggaeton or Mariachi music.
