I grew up in the United Church of Christ in Indiana. Church has always been an important part of my faith life and an important part of family life for me. I began attending church camp around 5th grade and found a new way of being with God. Outdoor ministry has been and continues to be a vital part of my faith. Some of the unique ways of experiencing God, exploring your faith, and sharing you life shape my ministry both on Sunday morning and in my work with youth.
It is a blessing and honor for me to have been ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2008 after graduating from Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. My life has taken me from Indiana, to Spokane, WA, to St. Louis, MO, and now to Essex Junction, VT. It has been inspiring and faith forming to worship and share life with faithful folks from coast-to-coast. While worship and the expression of one’s faith may differ throughout the country, I am strengthened to meet faithful people seeking to be in relationship with God and to enact that in the world where ever I live.
