She was also involved in Children’s Ministry in the preschool class. When they relocated to Pittsburgh in 2020, Ashley continued to teach music, but at the middle school level. Kaleb and Ashley felt God calling them back to Cleveland and they missed the Cornerstone Community, so they moved back to the area in Summer 2022.
