Suzanne Massey and Grace Husbenet have joined the KiDs Beach Club® staff. Massey, who also serves on the KBC board of directors, has been hired as the strategic growth senior director, while Husbenet, a sophomore at Abilene Christian, will serve as a club relations director.

Massey brings more than 26 years in the textbook publishing business and 20 years in education. Additionally, she has served on the staff as a bi-vocational preschool minister and children’s minister for 16 years. She joined the KBC board of directors this past January.

A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, Massey has experience both in the classroom with students as well as training educators in numerous areas of professional development, including KBC leadership teams.

While serving as the children’s minister at Grandview Baptist Church in Mesquite, Texas, she helped that church bring a Beach Club to Porter Elementary. The club debuted with 93 children and remains one of the largest Beach Clubs today. 

While children’s ministry was always a priority, Massey worked closely with families. Family activities, including women’s ministries, are a part of her passion to serve others.

Suzanne, a resident of the Dallas area since 1976, has two children and three grandchildren as well as a close-knit extended family. 

Husbenet is studying children and family ministry as well as marketing at ACU. She is a member of North Richland Hills Baptist Church where she has been heavily involved in children’s ministry. She has served in Kid Worship, Kids Camp, Day Camp and Vacation Bible School. This past summer she was the children’s ministry intern at North Richland Hills Baptist Church.

While in Abilene, she attends Pioneer Drive Baptist Church, where she is part of the college leadership team. This fall, she will be involved with children’s ministry in addition to helping with Beach Club.
