CHILDREN'S PASTOR
What is your favorite Bible verse and why?
In Luke 9:23, Jesus lays bare the requirements of His true followers. I love this verse because it reminds me to deny myself of my own worthless pursuits in favor of God's glorious goals and leadership, to be willing to suffer for the cause of Christ, and to submit to Jesus' kingship by following Him as well as His teachings.
What is your favorite activity to do with your family?
I love traveling with my family and taking photos of the adventure.
What do you love about ministry?
I love getting paid to study God's Word, disciple children, and serve others for God's glory.
What do you love about serving at WFBC?
The same thing that initially drove me here... I love that God and His glory are the heartbeat of service (as well as everything else) at the church. I also love that serving here is centered on the two greatest commandments – loving God first and foremost, and loving others as we love ourselves.
Fun fact about you?
I can easily shoot over 100 every time I play golf. I get my money's worth.
