All participants are encouraged to attend for last minute packing info

and details about our week!

I just completed my junior year at UNCW. I am pursuing my Bachelors of Social Work with the intention of working with children or in whatever area the Lord leads me. I am from Marshville, NC, which is a very small town about 45 minutes from Charlotte on the way from Wilmington. When I'm not at school, or at the beach, I enjoy spending time with my friends, serving in the community, and participating in Go Passionatly Serve (GPS). I am passionate about helping and encouraging children to be their best and always trying to show them God's love for each and every one of us. I have worked with children in some capacity since I was about 12 years old. I worked at Fort Caswell on their drama team in the past and also worked with community organizations like Big Buddy and Grandparent Support Network. I am very honored and excited for this opportunity to work as the Summer Intern with the FBC Children's Ministry.
