Lilah Behnke
Children’s Pastor, lbehnke@canopy.church
Hey! I’m from San Diego and am the oldest of 8 siblings. I moved to Orange County to attend Biola in 2018 and decided this is my new home. I am still at Biola working on my doctorate in clinical psychology, but I now live in Costa Mesa with my husband and cat, and am stoked to be doing ministry in a beautiful city with some of the most insightful and hilarious kids, intentional parents, and loving church leaders I’ve met.
Favorite hobby?
Hiking and camping! Especially with friends who love Jesus … bonus points if books are involved.
Best advice ever given:
Just do the next right thing
One of your favorite things about Canopy:
It really does come down to the people - but more specifically the way we do life together and the culture we have of being willing to try new things even if it’s messy at first, and empowering the ideas and values of the people who make up our church.
