Two years ago Michelle Dahlberg accepted the call to leave the corporate world of public relations in Portland, Oregon to move to San Diego and
join the staff with YoungLife, a non-denominational Christian outreach to middle school and high school students. Having attended Bible College
in Portland, Michelle's passion and desire was to work with youth.
She worked with high school youth groups in her spare time while
working in the corporate world, eventually starting ministry in the
marketplace. After some pivotal encounters with high school students, Michelle longed to spend more time in youth ministry, and then the call came from YoungLife. Michelle loves coaching cross-country and track at the local middle school, running alongside kids of all backgrounds, and inviting them to the WyldLife and YoungLife clubs.
Michelle's role with TPCC will be meeting another passion, building a bridge with college students at UCSD as "Pipeline Director", recruiting and training college students to invest in the lives of the youth in our community as well as inviting them to a place of worship right in their
neighborhood.
As a "wannabe" surferin-training, she is excited to tap in to the surf ministry as a fun outreach to kids of all ages. In her spare time, she loves working from Starbucks where she can meet students on their turf
– over tall, frothy java jolts. And she never met a sunset at the
beach that she didn't like!
