Summary

Over the past 20 years, much of my ministry experience has centered on leading and discipling teams while also remaining very hands on. I believe the combination of my gifts in leadership and service, along with years of hands-on ministry experience, allow me to strive for excellence in all areas while bringing glory to my Audience of One as I love, serve, and disciple children and their families. I view ministering to children as vital, and I am committed to fostering spiritual growth and effective communication within church programs. Currently, I am not serving in a traditional children’s ministry position, but I do serve on the leadership team of our local Christian homeschool co-op as well as various other ministerial positions. In those roles, I lead devotion times, build relationships, disciple both children and mothers alike and create environments that foster growth.
