Our Leadership Team

Our Leadership Team consists of five spiritually led women, driven to help others deepen their relationships with Jesus. Meet Angie Smith, Felieta Boaz, Amanda Aimonette, Amy Gruenefeld, and Chris Wilhelm—women who are passionate about coming alongside you personally, offering encouragement, and guiding you in how to be still and quiet your soul before the Lord.

Whether you are a new Christ follower or a lifelong believer, Be Still Ministries is here to help you grow in your walk with Christ and become the person God intends you to be. We believe that true transformation happens when we create space to hear His voice, rest in His presence, and embrace the stillness He calls us to.

We can’t wait to walk this journey with you!
