It is my joy to be the Children’s Pastor at Liberty Bible Church. I was hired and moved to Vancouver, WA in October 2020. I was immediately struck by the love, support and kindness of the church body. Despite joining Liberty in the middle of the pandemic the church has gone out of their way to welcome me and help me feel right at home.

Helping Children and Families grow in their walk with Christ is a passion of mine. I grew up in a pastor’s home where I was actively involved in serving the kids. I remember the sermon I heard when I knew God was leading me into Children’s Ministry. The pastor asked, “What is it that you do that you feel God’s pleasure when you do it?” I already knew I was called into ministry, but I knew in that moment Children’s Ministry was the place for me.

I attended Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, ID. In 2018 I received my Bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry and immediately returned to school receiving my Masters in Youth, Children and Family Ministry. This degree focused on the importance of intergenerational relationships and faith formation in the church and home. While attending school I worked in a part-time and full-time role in Children’s Ministries at Nampa College Church of the Nazarene. My time of education and ministry was very transformative. It developed in me a greater appreciation, wonder and love of God’s Word; it taught me to be a lifelong learner and helped me deepen my passion for journeying with kids and families in their walks with Christ.

As far as my home life, in August 2021 I married my wonderful husband Colton. He selflessly serves others and helps me grow in my walk with Christ. I enjoy hiking, camping, playing sports, board games, and spending time with friends and family. I look forward to getting to know the many activities and people of Vancouver.
