Claire Wiebking, Youth Ministry Intern
Claire graduated from NC State University this past December with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Through college, she was very involved with the campus ministry Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) which exponentially grew her relationship with the Lord.
She grew up in Kernersville, NC with my loving parents, 2 younger sisters, and dog named Pepper. She’s lived in Raleigh for the past 4.5 years and has been regularly attending Redeemer for 1.5 years. She enjoys spending my time in the outdoors with her favorite activities being backpacking and mountain biking. She also enjoys reading and is always looking for recommendations.
She feels blessed to have this opportunity to work with the Redeemer youth. Through the internship, she wants to be a godly presence for the students during the ups and downs of life like the RUF interns were for her. She is excited to know each student in the Redeemer family and asks you to pray for continued growth within the youth ministry.
