Michelle Guyer

Michelle was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo, and grew up the oldest in a house with three younger siblings. After high school, she attended MidAmerica Nazarene University, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Business Communications. She lived in Kansas for a year after graduating. She then moved to Chicago in 2004 to pursue a degree in Interior Design at the Art Institute of Illinois in the South Loop. While in Chicago, she met her husband, Dave. They got married in St. Louis. They promptly drove back to Chicago, loaded the car, and drove (honeymoon-style) out to California. Almost 15 years later, they have three amazing children, an adorable malti-poo named Baxie, lots of great LA memories, and now live in the San Fernando Valley. In the valley, she was a preschool teacher for two years and then spent the last year homeschooling her three kids. She is a natural with kids and has a heart for them and their relationship with Jesus. She has served the church in just about every capacity imaginable, including, most recently, serving alongside her husband Dave as they led New City Church SFV for the last almost 5 years. She is excited to join the staff downtown. She loves all things outdoors, especially camping and water – any kind of water! She is very crafty and resourceful and is a DIY’er/maker at her core. She loves to dance, sing, thrift, entertain, explore the outdoors and spend time with family and friends.
