Having eight years of ministry experience (two as an intern, six as a Youth Pastor), and being currently called to ministry, my goals are to help teach believers who they are in Christ, mentor and disciple families, equip the church with tools to help them grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, provide many different opportunities for them to evangelize and serve in their community and church. I will also be encouraging them as they walk out their faith, being available when needed.
