Allison Appel

Allison’s passion for ministry started as child when her parents set a strong example of helping others and using spiritual gifts to bless others at church. She has a passion for using her gifts on stage to inspire others to experience the power of the Holy Spirit through music. Allison oversees the worship ministry at the Shorewood Location.

Allison was born in Naperville, and raised in Oswego, IL. She attended Community Christian Church, where she and her family attended multiple locations and helped launch their Montgomery location. After high school she attended Lincoln Christian University where she graduated with a Bachelors in Intercultural Studies and a Masters in the Art of Preaching. While attending university she interned her final year with a missionary family in Nottingham, UK.

Allison worked at Starbucks for 11 years where she held multiple positions including manager of the Starbucks in Lockport, IL, before stepping away to start a family.

Allison and her husband, Klint, live in Shorewood with their 2 sons.
