Katie forrest
mother’s day out director

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Katie and her husband Jeremy moved to Mount Washington in 2014 and quickly came to love the community.  Katie has a degree in Elementary Education from Austin Peay State University and has been teaching and caring for young children all her adult life. 

The Mother’s Day Out at First Baptist Church is especially near and dear to her heart.  That’s because of the incredible experiences her own children had when they attended the program; and it wasn’t just her children who benefited from the experience.  It was through their experience with MDO that Jeremy and Katie connected to First Baptist Church, came to faith, and began learning and developing spiritually. 

Katie and Jeremy have two daughters, Edie and Emma, who are both active in athletic sports. When their family isn’t supporting their daughters activities, you will find them outside enjoying family time with their dogs and chickens.
