I am so very excited to be a part of Gate City Baptist Church's Ministry Team. GCBC is a home of loving, excited souls that are on fire for the Lord
and the mission to which He has called us.


A graduate of Houston Baptist University in Texas I have known for a very long time that God called me to a position where I can love, help provide ministry opportunities for children and their families and see children come to know the Lord as their personal Savior. It is a passion that I hold very dear to my heart!


I look forward to seeing our Pre-School and Children's Ministry continue to grow with opportunities such as exciting Sunday School Time, AWANA, KidStuf (a dynamic kid-friendly worship time), Club 252, Family Worship Time, Children's Choirs, an exciting Spring and Fall Festival and a fantastic Summer Vacation Bible School.

I seek to help in fostering family growth by helping to provide monthly family activities where parents and children can learn not only to communicate with one another, but also to see each other grow in the wisdom of the Lord as a family unit! Meeting new families that might visit our church generate great excitement and I cherish the opportunities and the vision that God has placed in the hearts of the people here at Gate City Baptist Church.
