My Ministry Calling: To minister and share the Good News to all the people in the name of Jesus Christ.

What I Enjoy about Serving at SLFUMC: The potential! This church and community have the opportunity to share the message of Jesus Christ and His love for us to the very ends of the earth. There is a real chance for World Changing Impact to be made right here in Sugar Land.

My Relationship with Christ: My Best Friend, my Highest Priority, my Father, my Savior, the One who loves me, the One who sustains me, the One who heals, the One who teaches me things I do not know, my Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the most important, the most intimate and the deepest relationship in my life.

In High School I Was Most Likely to Be: You would most likely have found me exactly where I was supposed to be, (such a nerd), in the band hall, the locker room, on the court, on the field, in the Ag Workshop, or in the classroom.

These Days I Am Most Likely to Be: At the PARC!
