Testimony:
I became a Christian at the age of nine. I had the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. Now that I have a family of my own, I strive to live by the example set forth by my parents. When I was 17, I came to the realization that being a Christian was more that just a label, it was a lifestyle. I knew I had a relationship with Christ; I just wasn’t always living that way. During this time in my life, God instilled in me a great passion for the lost, which is still alive in me today.
I was called to ministry at the age of 22 while in my senior year of college. I was in my dorm room talking with God about what direction He wanted me to take upon graduation. He reminded me of all the times I had volunteered in the ministry of children, and opened my eyes to the love and passion I have for kids. I knew immediately that my calling was to minister to children and their families in any capacity the Lord wanted of me. I then enrolled at Southwestern Seminary, and currently serve as the Minister of Children at NBC.
Goals and Passion for Ministry:
My passion is to see children, and the lost in general, come to a saving knowledge of who Christ is, what He has done for them, and how to live their lives for Christ. My goal for the children’s ministry at NBC is to provide teachers and workers that are positive Christ-like examples for the children of our church and our surrounding community. I also wish to see our children grow a passion for God and engage themselves in His Word beyond the church walls. At NBC we want to build a rock solid foundation of Bible Truth for our kids to live by for the rest of their lives.
