Annette Lambert is the Administrative Assistant for the Reaching Forward program at the John 3:16 Center. Her family moved to Littleton area in 2008 when her husband became the senior minister at Enterprise Baptist Church. Annette is a graduate of Oklahoma Baptist College where she majored in education and missions. One of her great passions in life is helping others, particularly children. She believes that children are not only our future, but they are also an important part of who we are today. Her goal is to love every child she meets and help them understand their importance in this world as they fulfill their greatest potential. Annette’s desire is to work closely with Shannon Pendergrass, the Program Manager of Reaching Forward, in order to help young people cultivate a desire to stay on track and become successful. She will work as the “extra set of hands” maintaining the business side of the program and the office tasks, as well as helping students in the mentoring process. Her background is extensive and diverse in business, office management and education. She also helped organize and begin a community crisis center similar to the John 3:16 Center in her former community. She is experienced both in dealing with young people as well as seeing the day-to-day tasks of an office environment, and looks forward to meeting the needs that are associated with the Reaching Forward program. Annette enjoys the opportunity to create a joint effort with parents to see that their child is a success.
