Summary

Offering passion for guiding children's spiritual journeys and strong desire to grow within the body of Christ. Bringing an understanding of child development and ability to design/lead interactive, faith based activities and lessons. I am eager to pour into the children that are a part of the body of Christ and especially pour into the little children who have yet to accept Christ as their best friend and personal savior. My heart is filled with passion for kid's ministry and outreach for those who have not come to know Christ. I have grown up in the church all my life and I have been around kiddos all my life. I still have a lot of the same little kid in me and children's ministry is something I have always loved being a part of. I'm a quick study and eager to grow, learn, build teams, and let the light of Christ shine through me as I work for the church.
