Well Kids Team

Jordan Niles

Jordan Niles Kids Director

If there is one thing you need to know about Jordan, it is that he lives to have fun! He loves coffee, a good book, or a walk in nice weather. When he is not out having fun, he is at home hanging out with his beautiful wife, Danay and two kids, Patrick and June. Jordan grew up in church but didn’t fully understand the gospel until later in life. So now he has a desire and passion to see the next generation grow up in love with Jesus and a true view of the gospel.

Clif Weinbrenner

Clif Weinbrenner Fig Campus Kids Associate Director

Clif is happily living the girl-dad life with his amazing wife (whom he married in 2010). His oldest girl was born on his wife’s birthday, and his youngest was born on his! He loves exploring - whether it is out in nature with his family, in a good book, or the latest Zelda game.

One of the greatest passions in his life is helping people to know and follow Jesus and to do that in community. He especially loves investing in those who invest in others.

Clif was raised in the church and thought he understood what it meant to be a Christian, but in his 20s, God showed him what it truly meant to give his life and then follow Christ. It was through this that God pulled him into ministry and grew his passion to help people truly know and follow Jesus.

Danay Niles

Danay Niles Fig Campus Elementary Coordinator

Most kids know Danay as “the lady with the pink hair” or “the lady who ate goldfish cereal at Summerpalooza.” Needless to say, Danay loves to have a good time. You can usually find Danay hanging out with her husband (Jordan) and two kids (Patrick and June) or kicking in at the dojo practicing and teaching karate to kids and young adults!

Danay did not grow up going to church, so she is passionate about teaching kids what the Bible really says and making sure kids know they are loved!

Benjamin Hiett

Benjamin Hiett Fig Campus 415 Coordinator

Ben lives by the philosophy, “The more chocolate, the better.” His cravings for delicious holiday candy are only surpassed by his love for God. Ben has been involved in ministry for over three years, helping lead college students in Young Life at Fresno State and now helping out with kids' ministry at The Well. Ben is a video editor, digital artist, and writer as well. His favorite pastimes are hanging out with friends with coffee or dominating in a fierce board game battle.

Noal Aasness

Noal Aasness Kids Resource Coordinator

Noal grew up in Southern California and moved to Fresno after marrying her hot hunk of a firefighter in 1999. She graduated from Long Beach State, and although she got her degree in creative writing, she doesn't broadcast that fact, lest someone feel the urge to ask her to actually write something. She and her husband Todd (aka Hot Toddy) have a son (Tim), a daughter (Sarah), and a polydactyl cat (Suzanne Thumbers).

Noal enjoys reading, word games, working out (well, maybe not the working out part as much as the results of working out), trying new restaurants, and a good cup of coffee. She'll take Fresno winters over Fresno summers, dark chocolate over milk chocolate, and Cheez-its over Goldfish any day of the week. She considers her job on the Kids' Team a huge privilege as she makes sure the kids have the supplies and lessons available, so they are equipped to learn about Jesus' overwhelming love for them.
