Director of Children & Families Ministry
Wendy Ann Mitchell is a musician, writer, wife and mother or three children and a black lab rescue dog. With over 17 years of experience working in children's ministry, Wendy brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and creativity to Wilton Congregational Church. Her passion is to live a life of service to encourage children and youth to become all that God has created them to be. A nurturing leader who uses the arts in lessons to follow Jesus' example of making sermons come to life through illustrations, her style of teaching includes engaging story-telling through the use of puppets, visual aids and songs and interactive skits and sermons with plenty of hands-on fun.
Wendy studied Child Development at Post University and is Head Teacher Certified through the State of Connecticut in Early Childhood Education. In addition, she is also certified in Godly Play (Episcopal), Vertus (Catholic), Safe Church (Methodist) and ASCI (Association of Christian Schools International), has many years of leadership and disciple training through workshops, seminars and conferences and has over 25 years of experience teaching children.

After the tragic shootings in her hometown of Sandy Hook, she became the founder and Executive Director of the award winning Sandy Hook Arts Center for Kids (SHACK). Wendy created, developed and implemented a number of programs that helped the community heal through the arts. By partnering with local businesses, town officials and recruiting a small army of willing volunteers, Wendy was able to help hundreds of members of the community heal through the power of the arts. Through her work, she was awarded #7 of 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013 in the Greater Danbury area by Hearst Media Services.
