Summary
I offer over ten years of experience in gospel-driven pastoral leadership, organizational management, program administration, and community outreach. I am passionate about creating an environment where those far from God feel at home, guiding new-believers through the first steps of their faith journey, and discipling Christians both new and old into an ever-deepening relationship with Christ.
