PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY & LIFE: We live in a fallen, broken world in need of a Savior.  That Savior is Jesus Christ and through the gospel of Grace we can be transformed now, experiencing great healing and growth in this life, while ultimately seeing final wholeness when the Lord returns.  No believer will ever out grow or graduate from needing Christ the more “mature” we become, but rather will recognize a greater need for Him the longer we walk with Christ.  God calls His people to a life of action.  This means that through prayer, worship, encouragement, and the giving of our lives (through service, being with others, sharing what we have with others) we will be used to further the growth and development of His Kingdom.  We are to Love God, and Love others, whether or not the ever come to know Christ (because He has called us to do this and by doing so, it brings honor to His name)

EDUCATION: B.A. in Student Ministries from Geneva College and a Master of arts in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary
