Isabelle Bertges

Isabelle serves as the Director for  Family and Community Ministries at Avenue Church NYC.

 

Born and raised in Germany, she moved to New York City in 2018 and holds a B.A. in Conflict Studies from Antioch University.

​

Before joining Avenue Church, Isabelle worked as an early childhood teacher at the Seattle Waldorf School and as a Case Manager at "The Door,” supporting runaway and homeless youth in NYC.

 

She first encountered Avenue Church and the Urban Outreach Center while out for a run in her neighborhood, noticing the team serving warm meals to neighbors in need. Inspired by the impact happening right in her own community, she began volunteering—and never looked back.

​

Isabelle has also volunteered internationally, supporting mothers and children fleeing conflict in countries such as Poland and Ukraine. In her current role, she focuses on community events, case management, and children’s and family ministries, helping families engage more deeply with the life of the church.

​

Outside of her ministry work, Isabelle enjoys swimming, running and cheering on women’s soccer and basketball.
