MEET JANNA
Founder & Executive Director of VESSELS Ministries

Janna Widdifield is the founder of VESSELS Ministries and has spent more than two decades discipling girls and equipping women within the local church.
Having grown up in church since nursery, Janna often found herself wondering:
How does this actually apply to my life today?
That question eventually became one of the driving forces behind VESSELS—creating a space where girls don’t just hear Biblical truth, but learn how to practically live it out in their everyday lives.
In 2013, Janna launched the first VESSELS club in Arvada, Colorado with a vision to create a fast-paced, highly engaging discipleship environment where girls could discover God’s truth about identity, value and purpose.
What began with one club quickly grew into a ministry impacting girls, women and churches across the country through intergenerational discipleship and local church leadership.
Beyond VESSELS
When she’s not writing curriculum, teaching or coaching club directors, Janna can usually be found drinking black coffee, eating tacos, reading mystery novels or watching British television. Friends often call her the “MacGyver of crafting” because she firmly believes most problems can be solved with a hot glue gun, spray paint and more sparkle. She lives in Colorado with her family.
