Jules Koen brings her passion for planning, decorating, and orchestrating joyous events for children and families to FUMC. Transforming Bible lessons into dynamic, interactive experiences for children of all ages is where she thrives. Jules embarked on her journey with the FUMC children's department in 2017, initially as a volunteer, and became co-director in 2021.

After attending the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Jules earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2002. Prior to joining FUMC, she dedicated years to serving as a pediatric and adult ICU and ER nurse, gaining valuable experience in medical facilities across the country.

Outside of work, Jules leads a fulfilling life with her husband and three boys, actively participating in their diverse range of activities. Whether traveling, playing tennis, or immersing herself in a renovation project, she embraces the challenges and joys of a busy family life. Jules and her family can often be found at various baseball fields across the state, but they also cherish moments spent dining at Patron, Zaza's, and Chick-fil-A in Conway.
