Heidi Veldman earned a B.A. from Calvin College and an M.A. from Michigan State University. She spent several years as a classroom teacher as well as an administrator, before becoming a mother to Margaret and Annie. Heidi and her husband, Ray were introduced to the Center for Christian Study when their oldest daughter, Margaret started as a first year at UVA in 2015 followed by their second daughter, Annie in 2017. The Christian fellowship, guidance, Bible studies, snacks, and encouragement that the Center for Christian Study has provided over the years for their daughters has been a true blessing for which Heidi and Ray are very grateful. 

Heidi and Ray currently live in Vienna, Virginia and are members of Fourth Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, Maryland. Heidi co-leads the MomsHooPray group that meets bi-weekly in Northern Virginia to faithfully pray for the University of Virginia’s students, staff, and ministries.
