ASSISTANT CHILDREN’S & YOUTH COORDINATOR
HOSPITALITY COORDINATOR
“I felt a deep void in my life and was tired of the anxiety, stress, and anger. God placed a dear friend, Christa, in my life, who was very strong in her faith. As our friendship grew, God pulled on my heart to draw near to Him. His love and patience for me to draw near to Him never faded. Christa was a bright light that led me to the Lord. After receiving Jesus as my Lord and Savior, my life began to change. God healed my heart and brought peace into my life that I never knew existed. What’s even more amazing is that peace spread throughout my home.”
