Summary

I am a hardworking and a reliable Youth Pastor with more than 10 years experience focused on going above and beyond to support the team and serve others. Motivated to be a disciple maker. I am focused on teaching the future generations how to grow their faith and realistically surround themselves with likeminded believers while encouraging them to embrace accountability. I have a passion to see people embrace the Truth of God and grow their faith and trust in Him. That is at the core of why I serve in the Ministry.
