Summary

Hi! I'm Tanner; my calling and passion are in Youth Ministry. To me, Youth Ministry isn't a stepping stone or a church fast track to a new position; this is what God has called me to. Two primary emphases of ministry for me have always been evangelism through local school outreach, and equipping the saints through meaningful programming and discipleship plans in the Church.
