Personal Statement of Faith: My faith has deepened over the years, knowing that God created me from his love, saved me through Christ’s salvation, and nurtured me in the Holy Spirit. As an ordained minister, I have had the privilege of daily enhancing my own spiritual growth by participating in the body of Christ, studying his Word, and serving others inside and outside the church. Teaching confirmation, preparing texts for sermons, and Christian spiritual direction training were treasured activities that kept me on my knees and challenged!
