Chelle Clemmon
Foster Care
Chelle Clemmon
Chelle began attending Brightmoor in 2016. She immediately plugged herself into RFK Camp and mentoring club and found a passion to advocate for those who come from disadvantaged circumstances. Because of her large tight knit family, she values and appreciates caring for others and sharing her heart within the foster care ministry.
Her downtime includes learning and experiencing the outdoors. It has become a tradition to include a hiking day or to visit a local botanical garden during vacations.
Consider the lilies and wildflowers, how they grow. They neither labor nor spin. If this is how God clothes the grass which is in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? Luke 12:27, 28 (AMP)
