In 1998, she joined the pastoral team. Her talk at our meeting is titled "Youth Today vs. 25 Years Ago—As an Adult, What is Our Role?" during which she will help us better understand our youth today and how as adults we can better guide them.
Outside the walls of Wooddale Church, Flies spends a great deal of time and energy as a communicator and has authored "I Want to Talk to My Teen About Girl Stuff" (Standard Publishing) in 2007. In the fall of 2011, her book for teenagers, "That’s What She Said/That’s What He Said," debuted with Summerside Press.
Flies is a graduate of Bethel University in St. Paul where she majored in Communication. She received her Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Bethel Seminary, also in St. Paul.
