I also am currently running a youth group that meets every Wednesday, as well as being a Sunday school teacher through heartland Church for over 2 years.

Youth Group Leader
After serving in my church for 1.5 years, I felt called to run a mini youth group at heartland church. I started the program in January on 2024 and it has grown into something beautiful. I am blessed with the opportunity to serve with my Heartland family every Wednesday night, as well as Sunday mornings.
