For the past four years, as the Associate Minister of Christian Education, I have had many opportunities to serve and follow my call to ministry that is two-fold, as pastor and teacher. Helping children, youth and adults to grow in faith; encouraging them to follow Jesus’ teachings and example; fostering partnerships in learning and worshipping are central to my call.
