MISTY ASPENBERG
DIRECTOR OF WOMEN'S MINISTRY
My Role:
I'm the Director of Women's Ministry here at Mission Point. My heart is for women to fully understand the beauty of their role and the freedom they have in Christ and in relationship with one another.
My Story:
I'm a lifelong Jersey girl, currently raising our family in Egg Harbor Township NJ with my husband Rich Aspenberg, (Senior Pastor of Mission Point) my 2 girls Joie and Layla, and our boy, Judah. I accepted Christ into my life at the age of nine but only fully understood what that meant in high school. I was very involved with a local church youth group where I found my passion for Jesus and His church! Once I graduated from the youth program I began to serve with the jr high girls and realized my passion for people and serving them through ministry. God has used the most hurtful seasons of my life to produce the passions I have today - My love for the church and how it stood in the gap for me and my family throughout my life and the call to do the same for those in our community, as well as my heart for some of the strongest women I know (single moms) and how we can help them thrive in the most valuable role as mom and help give them back their confidence to dream again. God was my redeemer of many things and I hope to spend the rest of my life doing my small part to do the same for others. God has been faithful and I am blessed to get to serve Him alongside my family!
Passions:
You can find me living out my passions - teaching dance at a local studio, leading women’s ministry at Mission Point, doing work as a founder of a start-up non-profit that supports local single moms, and working alongside my husband to love and nurture our amazing church family well. I also love coffee, beach days, ballet, TJMaxx and Target runs, family vacations and a good book.
A verse I stand on and believe is our call as the church:
Isaiah 61:1-4
1The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. 4They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
