Summary
I was raised in a Christian home and attended church ever since I was a little child and my mother used to read the Bible every night and was baptized in my aunt’s church. However, over the years I began to have doubts about the Bible and my faith, questions began to arise regarding salvation, I had been raised in a Church that when a person became saved it was possible to backslide to the point you could fall from grace and lose your salvation. I finally came to know the Lord through a friend in June,2007. I received my call to ministry during my first year at Parkhill Baptist Church in January of 2015. My former pastor saw my interest in the ministry and love for the church, that he recommended Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Since that time, I have grown in my desire to minister to others and seeing them come to Christ. Passionate student pastor successful in providing Christian education and leadership to 75 members within community. Successful in creating inspiring environments and encouraging individuals to grow and strengthen personal faith. Prepared to take next step as pastor associate pastor within church.
