TRICIA COLLINS
COMMUNITY DIRECTOR, MISSOULA
Tricia Collins joins the Child Bridge team from the Seattle, Washington area.
After an almost 20-year highly successful career in the banking industry as a mortgage loan consultant, she and her husband Thom of 22 years felt God’s leading for her to leave her banking career and raise a family. For the past decade, she has enjoyed being a stay at home mom to two terrific girls. One of their daughters was adopted from the local foster care community. These elementary school aged daughters are their delight!
Tricia was a former foster youth and this experience brings deep mission knowledge to her role as Community Director. She brings heartfelt understanding for the plight of children served by the Child Bridge mission, and the families who care for them.
She recently earned her Bachelor’s degree from Northwest University in Ministry Leadership, where she graduated summa cum laude.
Tricia has a deep love for the Lord and attempts to live from that place. James 1:27 is near and dear to her heart: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Her own experience as a former foster youth, adoptee, foster parent, and adoptive mother gives her a powerful voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Her passion is to mobilize the church in its pivotal role of redemption of the fatherless.
