 Trisha Quarto is a devoted wife, mother, and child of God. As a mother of special needs, I am reminded of God's grace, love, and strength as I navigate the joys and challenges of parenting a child with unique abilities.

Through my journey, I have learned to trust in the Lord's plan and find peace in His promises. My child has taught me the value of patience, compassion, and selflessness, and I am grateful for the countless blessings he brings to my life.

I have been called to advocate, to support, and to love unconditionally. I am proud to be a part of a community and volunteer programs that shine a light on the beauty and worth of every individual, regardless of their abilities. And I am humbled by the opportunity to share my story, in the hope that it may inspire and encourage others on their own path.

 When Lauren was about 6, God set a unique destiny inside her heart and spirit. As she grew in her faith and identity, the destiny began to unravel in the most beautiful way. Lauren and her husband learned they were made for specific Kingdom assignments. One of those assignments was a family, knit together only the way Jesus could! Their family is comprised of biological children and children adopted from foster care. 

Another passion of Lauren’s, besides musical worship, is SISTERHOOD. She has real heart to unify sisters in Christ and what it truly means to align your friendships (and life!) with the word of God and live out that faith! Lauren believes a true sisterhood could change the world and bring it back to Christ - as we live out the Word of God - before a world that so desperately needs Jesus.
