"I came to know the Lord the summer between my seventh and eighth grade year at a summer camp.  My faith  really started to grow in college, then continued to grow as a newlywed when my husband and I found a great church that taught us about discipleship.

I love to serve the Lord by doing a lot of the behind the scenes work and hosting  families and friends in our home. I also find joy serving him through organizing and supporting our staff and leadership at Crossings. One of my favorite things to do is grab coffee with friends to encourage and support them however the Lord leads."
