Youth and Family Life Coordinator
Leila Sconyers joined the staff in 2024 as the Youth and Family Life Ministry Coordinator at New Covenant Church, where God graciously led her. Leila has a deep-rooted connection to New Covenant Church, having grown up attending with her family and being actively involved in the church community. She was baptized at New Covenant Church by Pastor Rountree, and she also graduated from New Covenant School, where she developed a strong foundation for her faith.
After high school, Leila pursued higher education at Clemson University. During her time at Clemson, God used her involvement as a volunteer YoungLife leader to reveal His heart for youth ministry. Through this experience, she felt a deep calling to serve and nurture young hearts, realizing that it is a profound way to share God's love and guidance with the next generation.
Leila is continuously amazed by how youth ministry has deepened her faith and strengthened her relationship with God. She considers it a privilege to witness the transformative power of God's love in the lives of young people as they grow in their faith and navigate life. She is deeply passionate about guiding them, offering support, and sharing in their triumphs and challenges. Her work in youth ministry is not just a job, but a calling that she wholeheartedly loves and cherishes!
Leila feels incredibly grateful to serve as the Youth and Family Life Ministry Coordinator at the church she has cherished and attended for so many years, in a ministry that she deeply loves. She is passionate about creating a welcoming and supportive environment where young people and families can grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and experience the love of Christ in tangible ways.
In her free time, Leila enjoys spending quality time with her church family, listening to podcasts that deepen her understanding of faith, and playing with her beloved dog, Millie. She is excited to continue her journey of faith and service at New Covenant Church, where she hopes to faithfully reflect God's love and grace to the youth and families in our community.
