Children's Ministry Vision Statement 

It is exciting to be a part of what God is doing here at TPCC!

My vision is to have children become like the strong Torrey Pine…rooted in truth, watered with hope, pruned with love….reaching a world in need.

“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD and on his law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.”  Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)

Born August 3, 1956 into what would be a family of three girls, Nancy grew up near the San Diego State area in a home built by her father and grandfather.  She received her Bachelor’s Degree from SDSU where she majored in Liberal Studies with emphasis in elementary education.  While at SDSU she was active in the Marching Aztecs (playing the glockenspiel)
and the Alpha Delta Chi Sorority.  Upon graduation, she got a summer job at a church in the college area – and just fell in love with ministry.  For 29 years she has served in various capacities including Youth Ministries, Women’s Ministries, Family Care, Special Events, Single’s Ministries, and for the last eight years, Children’s Director.

She has two daughters, Loren Elizabeth (17) and Megan Jane (15) who attend Grossmont High School in East County.  Nancy loves the beach, game shows, the wind, rainbows, Cadbury chocolate and festive celebrations.  Her greatest heroes are her mom and dad, who gave her a
great heritage by providing a home full of fun, support, creativity and security.  Her dad, Conrad Lorendo Burgreen, Jr. was her biggest cheerleader and always told her that she could be anything she wanted
to be. He was a life insurance salesman until his death in 1993. And the love of celebrating? Well that (and great faith) was learned from her amazing mom, Margaret Burgreen who created a themed birthday party for each of her daughters every year of their life and has a deep
working knowledge of the Bible. (Nancy’s favorite party?  It’s a toss-up between her “Queen for a Day” party and her Flintstone party!).

Nancy’s passion is that children learn the truth of the Word of God so they can have the tools they need to face the “real world” with strength and courage.  She has a passion for excellence, as well and wants to create environments that kids love and will invite their friends to!

Her favorite verse? Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for a HOPE and a FUTURE.”  Nancy believes that when God tells us that He has plans – that they are already made and that He is ahead of her. He unwraps them one day at a time and is faithful to His promise.  Nancy feels deeply that her new role at TPCC is one of those great plans.  Nancy looks forward to meeting each and everyone at Torrey Pines so that together we can make a difference in the future generations.  Let’s trust God together as He builds the bridge while we walk on it.
