Elly was born and raised in Florida and loves so much of what the Sunshine State has to offer. She cherishes calling Titusville her home as it sits on the Indian River directly across from the Kennedy Space Center where rocket launches can be viewed. Titusville rarely has any traffic, isn’t far from the beach, and has a great community. Elly is the oldest of four children and is so grateful to have grown up homeschooled alongside them. She loves worshiping her Savior, Bible journaling, spending time with family and friends, intentional and rich conversations, watching sunrises and sunsets, and going on drives in her local wildlife refuge.
She enjoys being active and playing many sports, but running, soccer, and ultimate frisbee are her favorites. A big aspect of the Treder’s life is being around the water. If they aren’t at a sporting event, their Saturdays are typically spent enjoying the water, whether that is going to the beach and surfing, swimming in the river, kayaking, boating, water skiing, or tubing. In addition to serving with TeenPact, Elly is passionate about serving in her local church and cross-cultural missions. She later desires to live overseas full time working in church planting among the unreached.
Elly’s TeenPact journey began in 2021 when she attended her first State Class. Her mom had sent her merely intending to gain civics and government high school credit while being taught in a hands-on way. Little did Elly and her family know how much the Lord would use the ministry to impact both Elly and her family. Since then Elly has attended multiple state classes and various Alumni Events. The Lord has used TeenPact to encourage and strengthen her in many areas such as in her intentional, daily pursuit of Christ, servant leadership, discipleship, effective public speaking, and in increasing her desire to be involved in the political process. Elly is filled with deep gratitude and excitement for the 2025 TeenPact season. She joyfully looks forward to pointing others to the Lord and seeing all the many ways he uses the ministry to change the lives of many.
