• When did you begin to follow Jesus?

    Like many of the youth at CHBC, I grew up attending Sunday school and was involved in youth group. When I went to college, I began to question what I was taught my entire life, looking for satisfaction in the wrong places. By the grace of God, one of my professors was a Christian and set a good example of what truly following Jesus looks like, full of grace and truth. Through their ministry to myself and other students, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes. What were just facts my entire life became truth that changed my life. I began getting involved in church again, surrounding myself with Christian community, and following Jesus fully.

  • Tell us about your calling to Youth Ministry?

    Youth ministry was a large part of my teenage years, for better or worse. I understand how critical and formative this season is and how it can be a time of deepening or turning from one's faith. I do not simply feel a calling to youth ministry in general, but to THIS youth ministry at CHBC. What began as volunteering has grown into a conviction and calling that this is where God has gifted me and positioned me to serve more deeply.

  • What excites you about serving youth and their families at CHBC?

    Over the last four years, I have had the privilege of serving in youth ministry at CHBC. It has been a joy to watch the youth grow and mature over the years. I am excited to continue serving the youth and their families more intentionally than I was before as a volunteer.
