What do you like best about working at NWCC/what brought you here?
The LORD made a way for me to be the Student Minister here at NWCC. The very first time I met the search team, we felt like we had know them for years. I love the family atmosphere here at NWCC!
What is your philosophy of ministry/why do you do what you do/what are you passionate about in your ministry?
I believe in the inspired Word of God that was lived out through the man Jesus Christ who IS God in the flesh. Through this belief, I try and live my life the way Christ would want me to live. In John 14:6, Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” These are the words that everyone needs to hear in a world that says there is no truth but what “we as humans” believe to be true. I believe, through experiences in our lives, that God puts us in places where we will be able to do the most for Him. I believe that is why God has called my family and myself to NWCC to help with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 by “becoming all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).
