CALL TO MINISTRY • I strive to live a life that reflects the reality and relevancy of Jesus Christ.• I believe in the potential of teenagers and power of influence that exists when an adult invests in their lives. I seek to foster
leadership into teams of adults who step into the lives of students and draw them into community with Christ.• I value multi-generational church ministry, I believe in the relevancy of the local church, and I seek to be a part of a church
and student ministry that represents and profoundly impacts the geographic community in which it is found.• I am passionate about living out the gospel with marginalized people in my realm of influence.
