I believe my history as both a pastor and hospice chaplain has provided me with opportunities to serve the community. Encouraging others to service, educating them and providing support as they step out in new experiences. I enjoy working with an interdisciplinary team. I believe my past experience aligns well with the goals of the position of Volunteer Coordinator. I look forward to the opportunity of growing as I learn this role and develop relationships with staff and the community being served.
Coordinate worship services, ensuring cohesive themes and meaningful experiences for congregants.
Provided pastoral care through counseling sessions
Specializes in watercolor imagery of shadow and light. My work is not just art; it is a visual sermon, exploring how the light of Christ penetrates even the darkest valleys.
