What is your favorite Bible verse and why?
John 3:30
“He must increase but I must decrease”
This verse has always reminds me what my life and the ministry God has called me to is truly about. It’s not about making a name for myself, being seen, or receiving recognition, it’s about making much of Jesus. I want every part of my life, my ministry, and my work to point people to Him. The more I decrease, the more room there is for Christ to increase in me and through me.
What is your favorite activity to do with your family?
I love traveling with my family and playing pickleball.
What do you love about ministry?
What I love most about ministry is getting to be part of what God is doing in people’s lives. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, discover their purpose, and take their next step with Christ.
What do you love about serving at WFBC?
I love being part of a church that genuinely loves people and desires to see lives changed through the Gospel. I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve alongside people who are passionate about Jesus and committed to reaching our community.

CHILDREN'S PASTOR
What is your favorite Bible verse and why?
In Luke 9:23, Jesus lays bare the requirements of His true followers. I love this verse because it reminds me to deny myself of my own worthless pursuits in favor of God's glorious goals and leadership, to be willing to suffer for the cause of Christ, and to submit to Jesus' kingship by following Him as well as His teachings.
What is your favorite activity to do with your family?
I love traveling with my family and taking photos of the adventure.
What do you love about ministry?
I love getting paid to study God's Word, disciple children, and serve others for God's glory.
What do you love about serving at WFBC?
The same thing that initially drove me here... I love that God and His glory are the heartbeat of service (as well as everything else) at the church. I also love that serving here is centered on the two greatest commandments – loving God first and foremost, and loving others as we love ourselves.
Fun fact about you?
I can easily shoot over 100 every time I play golf. I get my money's worth.
