My name is Katy Mitchell and I am the associate youth leader at Byars Cobb. I am married with 2 amazing kids who love learning about our Lord. I'm a car salesman full time and also a full time Mom so my plate is very full!  My goal as being a youth leader is to help teach these kids how amazing our God is and how to serve him each and every day. Times are so hard these days being a kid so I find so much comfort knowing that they have God in their heart and they can lean on him in good times and bad.
