Tonya Innis - Weekday Childcare Coordinator
E-mail TonyaTonya Innis has been on the church staff since August, 2007 as the Weekday Childcare Coordinator. She was also on staff with Discovery Learning Center from 2005 – 2009 as a pre-school teacher.
Tonya was raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma where she was a member of the First United Methodist Church. She went through confirmation classes, played in the hand bell choir, and sang in various choirs throughout the years. Some of her fondest memories of childhood are centered around the church. Tonya and her husband, Rob, were married there in 1989.
As a 1986 graduate of Oklahoma State University, Tonya worked in the field of marketing for several years. However, she soon followed after the call of teaching she felt God had always placed on her heart. She taught in Christian schools for 6 years before teaching at DLC. Christian education continues to be her passion, although she “teaches” in a different capacity since becoming a Regional Director with Victims’ Impact Panel of Oklahoma.
Tonya and Rob have three sons: Latta, age 17, Landon, age 12, and Reagan, age 7. The family’s time is centered around the boys’ school and sports activities where they all attend Lincoln Christian School.
