Danielle DeJesus
Ministry Director
Danielle serves as WFA's Ministry Director. She is using her leadership, business, and ministerial skills along with her love for the next generation to lead the academy. She is a part of the Woodland Family Ministry Team and also serves as the Spiritual Formation Director at Woodland Community Church where she leads the IMAGINE study groups as a part of the LINK program and oversees the Academy for Adults. She continues her ministry training and development through Orange, which is the primary curriculum resource of the Woodland Family Ministry. The Orange philosophy is that the red heart of the home and the yellow light of the church blend together to make Orange. Danielle focuses on cultivating an Orange ministry culture among the WFA staff, students and families. Her passion is to provide an academy that serves every student and family equally in an environment where students feel seen, known, and loved. Our goal is to partner with parents to bring out the best in our students. She believes that God is the Ultimate Creator and that He inspires creativity in each and every one of us. At Woodland, we believe that Every Day Matters, and that every day is a great day to love God, love others, and do something about it. Danielle sees great value in how that purpose statement is integrated into the community of Woodland Fine Arts Academy as we grow closer to God and one another through the arts.
