Mary Goslinga

Years at OOCS: 4 years

Educational Background: Teaching Degree from Dordt College in 1973

Professional Experience: I taught 1-2 grade in Hospers Christian School for 4 years, then taught 2nd grade in the Sioux City Community School for 3 years, and 1-2 grade in Ireton Christian School for 27 years.

Family history: My husband is Stan Goslinga.  We were blessed with three children.  Jenny and Joe have two children: Jack and Lily.  Michael and Elizabeth have two children: Annabelle and Audrey.  Rachel and Ryan have two children: Gwen and Harrison plus two foster babies.

Faith statement: God has been in my life since birth.  With a dad off to the Korean War when I was born, my mother raised me to rely on God's faithfulness.  At age 6 my mother died in a house fire and my dad raised me to lean on God's leading. God provided a stepmother  and so many other miracles have happened that I know God is helping, leading, and guiding.  Reading the Bible, watching creation, praying each day have drawn me closer to Him. To Him be the glory and praise.
