Nate, Shelby, Idaline, Abigail and Desmond Maas
KidsFirst Pastors
This sweet and dedicated family has been with us as staff since February of 2022, but have called First Assembly their home since 2015/2016. Nate grew up in Holcomb, Kansas and now works at Sunflower Electric. Shelby lived many years of her life in Garden City and has always felt a call to Kids Ministry. Their three children, Desmond (far left), Idaline (middle), and Abigail (far right) go where mom and dad go, bringing joy and laughter in their wake. Shelby and Nate desire to see Kids fall in love with Jesus and serve Him with their whole lives.
