Megan is the Director of Rezlife at the Leawood location. She moved with her family from Pittsburgh, PA, (where she grew up) and has served at Ingomar UMC the last eight years. She has successfully grown her student ministry during the pandemic and has partnered with local health providers to care for the mental health of students in her community. Megan is a wife of 10 years to Mike and they have two little ones together, a five-year-old daughter who lights up every room, and a two-year-old son who is a daredevil. Megan was called into Youth Ministry after acquiring her teaching license and working in the non-profit world for a season. She is passionate about teaching students what it looks like to love God and love others and diving deep together into what it means to live as a follower of Jesus. She also loves Marvel and spent her quarantine re-watching the movies in timeline order. In addition, she learned how to oil paint while watching Bob Ross episodes.

I am the Director of Middle School Ministries at Resurrection Leawood! Many of you have probably met or seen me around Resurrection in the last 6 years. I am the father of two boys and the grateful husband to my Dentist wife, Lindsay. We live in a 120-year-old home that we are constantly renovating. It is on 10 acres with a dog, cat, goats, and chickens—OH MY!!

My family and I started attending Resurrection in the VIBE service. We have been active in that community serving in the worship band, attending small groups and serving where needed. When our oldest boy started 6th grade, I started volunteering in Rezlife. I have had a passion for youth ministry for over 20 years and have served as volunteer and ministry staff in many different capacities in my life.

I have also traveled the country as a musician, and served on over 40 mission trips. Currently, I own a photo/video production company.

You will normally find me working on the farm, taking photos, paddle boarding, trying to fix my Bronco, playing music, coaching my kids' endeavors or driving a sweet mini van! I love Jesus and how he works through all of us, to do amazing, powerful, creative things.

My passion in youth ministry is empowering others to use their gifts to serve. With that in mind, I look forward to meeting everyone and helping you plug in and recognize you’re needed. You can run, you can hide, but God has something amazing for you to do. I am here to help nudge you in that direction, and train you to succeed. You are special, you are loved, and you are needed to make a difference in this world through our students.

May we be a community that lives without fear, loves others, and serves the world.

My name is Zae Romeo and I am from a town called McKinney Texas. I moved to Kansa City the first week of September 2021.

I'm the Student Worship Director for Rezlife/NextGen Ministries. I've worked with students for most of my life and have also been leading worship for the same amount of time. I am SO EXCITED to be here at Church of the Resurrection!
