Family and Children's Ministry
Children's Ministry is where my heart has been for 30 years. I have a passion for teaching God's word and to teach how to recognize His voice by using whimsical creativity and thrifty practicality in object lessons, games, songs, declarations and creative expressions of worship. I love teaching the kids along side their family teaching them biblical truths and foundations of their faith.
