As a daughter of a pastor, I have seen the ups and downs of parish ministry. We need to spread the good news outside the church to draw people inside. I feel it is my call to strengthen the church's global ministry in order to build its inner ministry.

I hope to help the church grow and reach out to people who have left the church or never found it, and to help people who are already part of a church to rediscover a relationship with Christ.

I hope to be a witness to God's vision for health and wholeness for the church, and ultimately, the world. By nurturing compassionate communities of faith, I hope to participate in God's ongoing call for healing and transformation.

I have felt a call to ministry since I was in middle school. I believe that the most exciting possibilities for my future are ones that I have not even imagined, and that God has plans for me which are greater than anything I could plan for myself.

I hope to foster joy in our life as a church. I have experienced God's quiet nagging, waiting for me to realize that my gifts may be part of what our church needs.

I understand how hard life can be, and I want to give others comfort, guidance, and love. Sharing joy strengthens my ministry and keeps the passion for Christ alive within me.
