Carolyn L. Cofield

is a native of Kansas City.  She is a wife, mother of seven children, a grandmother ('Nana'), a teacher and author.

​

She is also the founder and director of Rachel's Tea House, an outreach ministry and organization to help teen and single moms and their babies.

​

Rachel's Tea House was birthed in 2000, after the loss of one of her daughters. Carolyn knows the pain of losing a child, but she also knows the healing power of God that moves you from pain to purpose, tragedy to triumph, grief to glory.

​

Rachel's Tea House opened as a Crisis Pregnancy Center in 2002 and expanded to a Maternity Home in 2006, housing over 60 girls and their babies. Rachel's Tea House transitioned to a Pregnancy Resource Center in 2012, a community outreach program offering mentoring, support and encouragement to young moms facing the challenges of teen and single parenting.
