Summary
I am a highly motivated individual, who has a heart for ministry. I love the Lord, and despite the lack of formal seminary education, I have practiced hermeneutics and homiletics, as well as been a part of practical ministry opportunities. I have had the opportunity to participate in and volunteer at a variety of next-gen events across the state of South Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana. Being a part of an affiliated church has allowed me to sit in on convention meetings and see how the church runs on a more intimate level.
