I grew up going to Christ the King and have been a member for over 20 years. I have loved coming to church feeling like I am part of a loving, Christ-like community. We have such a strong family and I want to be able to share this with other youth and families in our diverse neighborhood and city. I feel called to this position am excited to shepherd a growing ministry that engages their youth and families in life-changing ways through the mission of Christ and the vision and values of Christ the King. I grew up in the surrounding neighborhood of Christ the King and have seen first-hand the changes that have evolved around the church. I feel passionate about reaching the unreached and bringing in the new generation to this welcoming church.
I get to spend my time with the wonderful young people of Christ the King, mentoring them, leading them and helping form a community where everyone feels welcomed. My goal is for each of our Children, Youth, and Family ministries to be spiritually healthy. I am a Christ-led leader and I engage young people in a way that makes sense to them but still challenges and grows their faith.
Before working at Christ the King, I worked 3 years at 3 different school districts and worked with 3 different groups of young people. I learned through these past teaching experiences how to work with multiple groups of people from all different cultural and family backgrounds. These teaching experiences helped me grow in my love of being a positive leader for my students as well as helped me realize how much I enjoy spending time with and influencing our intelligent and unique young people.
