Angie Wittenberg
Director of Youth Ministries

Angie was born and raised in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan in Marquette.  She attended Bible College at the Master’s University in Santa Clarita, California, on a Basketball Scholarship. She transferred back to Marquette where she led her church college group, led worship, and coached middle school basketball. A broken leg led to a re-direction of 6 years of full time missionary work with Youth With a Mission (YWAM), the majority of her time in Xining, China, in Qinghai Province. She then returned to Marquette and played college basketball and worked for her local church.  In 2011, Angie moved to Savannah and has worked for First Christian Academy and the Islands YMCA.  Angie has a BS in Health Science and has 2 daughters. She looks forward to working with the youth here at WIMC and encouraging them in their faith.
