Angie attended Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Broad Field Social Studies and a minor in Religious Studies. She then worked in the mortgage industry for 12 years, growing in knowledge and connections. During that time she also grew in her compassion for clients and affiliate partners, and witnessed the Lord at work through her career.
Angie and her husband experienced tremendous loss in 2010 when their infant daughter, Hazel, died from a heart defect. Following this life-altering event, Angie helped start a nonprofit where she served as Executive Director.
Ten years later, the Lord called her to completely step away from her professional career as a mortgage lender. When she asked him what he wanted her to do, he said, “Rest in my love” and “Equip my children.” She initially assumed God was referencing to her three children remaining at home, but in May 2021 she had a vivid dream of a school and felt strongly that the Lord was leading her to equip generations of HIS children. That led to an intense season of seeking his plan and trying to understand what her role might be in that mission. In September 2021, God impressed the name Sacred Journey on Angie’s heart and mind. And in February 2022, Angie said YES to the call of leading a school effort.
Angie’s passion is one-to-one connection with people, including small groups, where people can be authentic and encourage one another in their faith journeys. The Lord has given her a heart for people to know and see how real God is and how Jesus changes everything, giving us the life of peace, joy, hope, and true freedom that we were meant to enjoy in Him.
Angie has served in many capacities in the community including Habitat for Humanity, Bio Girls, FAN Coaching, and she currently serves on the board of the Unity Foundation.
Angie loves reading, bonfires, paddle boarding, and exercising. She and her husband, Ryan, have been married 15 years and are owners of Winsupply of Alexandria. As a family, their favorite place to be is wherever they are together. Time with their three kids is greatly cherished, whether they’re biking, traveling, enjoying a movie night, or playing games. The Heidelbergers seek to live out Deuteronomy 11:19-20, “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
Angie attends The Church in the Pines in Alexandria.
