Carrie Chiurato

Director, Palm Beach & Treasure Coast

Carrie has served with Child Evangelism Fellowship since the age of 15. As a teenager, she spent five summers as a summer missionary in Maryland and Georgia. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration. Carrie has taught in elementary classrooms and homeschooled her three boys, two of whom are now grown. She loves training teachers to share God’s Word with children and connecting with local churches and elementary schools. She trains teenagers to lead summer Good News Club Camps, and throughout the school year she builds local Good News Club teams while overseeing our chapter. Her greatest joy is sharing the Gospel with children and teaching them the Word of God.
