Even though I accepted Jesus at a young age, I spent most of my late teens and early 20's letting my Bible collect dust on a shelf. I knew about God and I talked to Him once in a while but rarely listened to Him. I recall the early years, on fire for Jesus and sharing the good news of the gospel with anyone who would listen. But over time the noise of the world began to crowd out His voice. While growing up, my parents, sister and I, spent each Sunday at church, singing in the choir and attending youth group meetings. In college, I rarely bothered to think about God, too consumed by the world and it's pull. It was a challenge to look like a Christian without the actions. But God — He was always in pursuit of me. His focus on me never wavered and His unfailing love guided me back to Him despite my ever-changing circumstances. God's word is a story of pursuit for you and for me. 

I love creating opportunities for women to connect—with God, with one another, and with their community—through their gifts and talents. I believe God gives each of us unique abilities and experiences to share and learn from each other. Meaningful relationships often begin with a simple conversation, a shared moment, or time spent together, and over time, they open the door to gospel conversations.

Life's greatest joy is walking this journey together. Community is central to God's plan for His children, and I want you to know—you belong here. Together, we'll draw near to God and to one another. So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join me. You belong here.
