Summary
With nearly a decade of vocational ministry experience, I have seen God do immeasurably more than I could have imagined in the churches I have served. I have witnessed God build a youth/children's ministry from 0 to 40, grow a church numerically in three consecutive years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and then shift our ministry format to online and home-based groups to maintain and further our reach in ministry, and been blessed to work daily with the poor among us in mercy ministries at Stoner Creek Church, where we have also seen significant financial, numerical, and spiritual growth. I am excited and listening for where our Christ will move in and through me next.
