SkyMoms
SkyMoms Ministry
SkyMoms extends the spirit of Sky Ranch camping, taking positive discipleship into homes to nourish moms and equip them to better face the daily challenges and opportunities of raising Godly kids. In the same way Sky Ranch invests in the spiritual development of your child, we also, through SkyMoms, want to provide the opportunity to seek, share, and connect with other moms.
The primary mission of SkyMoms Ministry is to build community. Realizing that a Christian home is built from the inside out, the SkyMoms Ministry is committed to equipping and encouraging Sky families as they disciple, teach and love their children throughout the year.
Gatherings
Would your group of friends be encouraged by a seasoned parenting mentor? Are you struggling through a certain stage of child development? Let us invest in you through our SkyMoms luncheons. SkyMoms is a ministry created to help mothers deal with the day-to-day struggles of bringing up children. Sky Ranch hosts luncheons throughout the DFW area during the fall and spring that feature an encouraging message from a member of our Speaker Team.
Tori Miller
SkyMoms Director
Tori Miller is the Director of the SkyMoms Ministry, where she has the amazing opportunity to come alongside moms in all walks of life and stages of parenting to encourage and equip them as we all raise our kids together. Tori is married to Meigs, and they live in Prosper, Texas, and have been active in their community and members of their church, Prestonwood, since the 1980s. Meigs and Tori have two beautiful girls who are married to incredible men, and they've given them three grandchildren, with another on the way! Being grandparents is the GREATEST ERA of their lives! They spend many weekends in Denver or Arkansas, soaking up every little milestone these sweet grandbabies are transitioning through!
Tori’s life verse, Jeremiah 29:11, has encouraged her through the ups and downs and in betweens of life, love, and parenting. The Lord has given Tori a story that tells of the grace and blessings associated with a life lived committed to following the One who gives her a future and a hope.

Amy Pierson
SkyMoms Speaker
Amy loves sharing the Gospel and helping others discover their identity and calling in Christ. She’s passionate about equipping believers with simple, practical tools so they can feel competent and confident “for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17).
Growing up in a missionary family, Amy had the privilege of traveling the world, sharing and learning about God’s work in diverse cultures from a young age. For more than 20 years, she has discipled women in local churches, schools, and nonprofits, writing curriculum, authoring books, and occasionally being a little too honest on podcasts that weren’t edited later (ha!).
While attending seminary, Amy met Kyle, a cute Jesus-lovin' Texan, on a blind date, and they were married the following year. Together, they’ve served as church-planting catalysts in Texas, New York, and now in the L.A. metro area. Of all her roles, Amy’s favorite is being Mom to Eva, Isaac, and Benjamin.
Sky Ranch has played a special part in her family’s story, providing countless memories and discipleship moments through parent-child weekends and family camp. Amy is honored and humbled to serve on the SkyMoms Speaking Team, encouraging families to grow together in faith.
Kristen Ainsworth
SkyMoms Speaker
Kristen loves to encourage and spur on women "toward love and good deeds," as Paul says in Hebrews 10:24, so she gets excited about every opportunity to teach God's people from God's Word. As the daughter of a minister, Kristen grew up with a heart for serving God, the church, and her community, as was modeled for her by her parents and church leaders.
After 12 years serving as a public school teacher and administrator, the Lord led Kristen to earn a seminary degree in Theology and to shift her focus to local church ministry. Kristen has served in various vocational and volunteer ministry roles throughout her adult life, serving the church as a minister, Bible teacher, Recovery leader, worship leader, and discipler of women. She now has the privilege of combining her two loves of education and ministry in her role as an adjunct professor at a Christian university. Kristen regularly speaks at women’s events and teaches in Women’s Bible Study at her local church.
Kristen and her husband Kevin have been married since 2019 and have a teenage son who would spend his entire summer at Sky Ranch if they let him! They live in Dallas and are members of Northwest Bible Church.
