Kayla Boyer
Kayla is a middle school assistant principal in downtown Dallas who is extremely passionate about life. She cares immensely about supporting teachers, serving students, mental health, and social justice. “How we care for others is how we change the world.”
When asked what brings her joy, Kayla replied, “traveling, being outdoors, walking, running, mountains, beaches, driving, road trips, time with friends, time with family (even though they all live far away in Chattanooga, TN), concerts, trivia nights, board games, puzzles, cooking, church, and my very cute chiweenie dog, Leo.”
God has been teaching her to practice being in the present moment - to have mindfulness. Constantly managing stress, anxiety, and life is helping her focus on the present. God is peace and always there breathing peace into all of the different moments.
Kayla feels that FPC is doing the work a church is supposed to be doing – it is community centered, serving not just the community inside the church but the community it is in, bringing about the kingdom of heaven in a nondiscriminatory way. It is working for social justice - connecting and providing resources for people in need, like at the Stewpot. Kayla wants to be a part of this work. “I feel there is a lot of power in living, working, and going to church in my community.”
