I am an 18-year student at Liberty University who is pursuing my calling to follow ministry as a full-time job. It has been something pressing on my heart for the past two years now, and as I enter my Junior year at Liberty, I grow more confident each day. I am continually seeking ways to grow in my relationship with God and to grow as a leader within my community and work life. I absolutely have a heart for youth and next-generation ministry and have for several years. In 7th-9th grade, I led worship at my youth group, and since 8th grade, I have been a student leader at my church. Since August of 2022, I have been an adult leader at my church's youth group where I help in planning games and events. I have helped in the preschool ministry in my church 1-2 times a month since 2019, and this year I have become a team leader. In April of 2023, I gave a ten-minute sermon at my church during a young communicators day following Easter. I have the link to the sermon if needed, and I am able to get letters of recommendation on my character and heart for the youth.
