When and how did the Lord save you?
I’ve known about Jesus my whole life... My faith became personal when I made the decision to follow Jesus at a camp and later publicly declared Him as my Savior through baptism in middle school... By the end of high school, I felt distant from God, trying to control my life and satisfy my own desires. In college, God began to strip away the things I had placed my identity in. It was there, through my college ministry, that I was reminded of the gospel... I chose to surrender my life to Christ, and since then, I’ve found true joy in living for a greater mission: to know God and make Him known. I am forever grateful for His grace and love.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I joined TVC in the summer of 2023 after graduating college, seeking a new community and place of connection... In September 2024, I joined the staff, and I’ve loved every moment of it.The Lord had called me to pursue vocational ministry during college, so when the opportunity to join the staff here arose, it felt like a natural and faithful step.
