“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

My name is Karin Shewbart. I attended college at Columbia State (2+2 Education Program.) I have worked at Zion for twelve years. I enjoy working with the “little people” of our school!

I have been happily married to my husband, Steven, for the past 25 years. We have 3 wonderful sons and they were educated at Zion. My babies grew up much too quickly (as will yours!) This marks my family’s 19th year at Zion. Zion is a part of our family and I am thankful you are making it part of yours as well!

I am a member of Connections Church in Columbia. I have been in the Baptist church my entire life. I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was 11 years old. I have been a Sunday school teacher, a VBS teacher, a VBS director, and even a Children’s Church director. My faith is very important to me. I depend on Jesus every single day. We are all so very blessed to be able to continue our walk with the Lord here at Zion!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

I have been teaching since 2008 here at Zion Christian Academy. I graduated from MTSU in 2006.

I enjoy, in my leisure time, tractor pulling, fishing, camping, being with my family.

“The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4-7)

My name is Amy Stillwater. My husband and I, along with our 3 Children, moved to Columbia from Oregon in July 2021! All 3 of my kids attend Zion at the upper campus. I love working with preschoolers and helping them build their first formative love of the classroom, as well as building their foundation for an intimate relationship with the Lord.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Hi! My name is Chelsea Woodard and I teach the Wiggle Worms that are in K4.

I was born and raised in Spring Hill Tennessee. I graduated high school from Columbia Academy. I went to Middle Tennessee State University where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in education. I have one son who is also a Zion Eagle! I am married to Brett Woodard and we all reside in the lovely town of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

I am so thankful and proud to be a teacher here at Zion Christian Academy!

“For I know the plans I have for, declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

I am a Zion graduate. I was married in 2012 and have two children. Both of my children attend Zion as well,

In my free time I enjoy reading and crafting.
