Testimony:

How do I even attempt to paint the most beautiful thing I have ever seen? How do I pen about the most fascinating person I have ever experienced? How do I speak my absolute infatuation for the One who not only changed my life, but gives me life eternally? 

At nine years of age, I professed Him publicly as Savior of my soul.  It was not until my early twenties however, that I professed Jesus as Lord of my heart and was baptized.  It was at this juncture that I began to truly walk with the Son of God.  He captivated me and became prominent in my life.  I began to serve Jesus the Christ through my family, creativity, and teaching. 

I am so glad to be part of the Gillionville Baptist family. I am compelled and completely committed to shepherding this student body. I am so eager to equip and encourage each of our young people to live out the Great Commission. Each of us are created to carry out this very purpose in our lives.
