DUTIES:  worship, media & performing arts; youth band, youth & college mentor; pastoral liaison to facilities/physical plant

PASSIONS:  Spending time growing with people, and singing to the Lord at the top of my lungs.

PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY & LIFE:  Be authentic. There are plenty of polished hypocrites out there. I’d rather you know that I’m just another broken person who God is reshaping into the image of Jesus. The process hurts, sometimes it hurts a lot--but I look at who I am now, and what my loving God has saved me from, and I can’t help but sing songs of praise and be grateful.

QUOTE:  “Ooh!" said Susan, "I'd thought he was a man. Is he – quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion." "That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver, "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else silly."  "Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.  "Safe?" said Mr. Beaver. "Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."  — from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
