Hi, I'm Leighton

I’m a 1st year missionary from Greenwood Village, CO.

What brought you to Christ in the City?

Graduating from the University of North Carolina, I knew that Jesus was calling me to embrace something bigger than myself. My prior experience volunteering with Christ in the City and the individuals I served with convicted me of wanting to serve something greater than myself.  I understood that this was a calling for me to grow both in Faith and trust in the Lord, and begin giving back to the community in every way possible.

What are you looking forward to?

I am looking forward to making friends from all over and building strong relationships with everyone I encounter. Additionally, I am also looking forward to forming myself into a stronger person to help others whenever I can.

A bit about me

I am from Littleton, Colorado, born and raised just 30 minutes south of Denver! I love skiing, hiking, ice hockey, piano, and painting! For school, I went to Regis Jesuit High School and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill receiving a degree in Economics. Additionally, I am the youngest child of three with two brothers who are twins and also an adorable dog named Scout. My dad has heavily shaped my love for music, which mostly consists of classic rock and rock but I love exploring and listening to new genres whenever I can!
