God led my husband, Allen, and I to visit Upwards Church and we joined in April 2021. I'm honored to lead the connection center and greeting ministries, if you feel led to serve in any capacity, please let me know. We love our church family and serving one another.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.” 1 Peter 4:10

We love our Upwards Kids. We embrace the joy in teaching children about Jesus and encouraging them to continue to grow in God's word with Bible lessons, songs, and creativity. If you are interested in serving on the Kids Ministry or Cleaning Team, please contact one of me. 

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

Proverbs 22:6

I’m married with two young adults and we've been attending Upwards Church since its very first service in 2000. I have been in administrative management for Christian nonprofit organizations since 1992 and have been an administrator with Upwards Church, providing support for our campuses and preschools since 2003. My passion is to use all my abilities and talents for God’s church. 

I graduated college from Southwestern Seminary class of May 2023 with a bachelor's in Christian Studies and minor in Children's Ministry. I have worked in a licensed preschool for 5 years, and have served in children's ministry since I was in middle school. My heart and passion is to teach children the love of Jesus. I believe real faith begins with an understanding of who God is and how much He loves us. I am committed to teaching and loving children, and helping them to know, love, and serve God! If you would like more information or are wanting to have your child enrolled at Upwards Preschool, please contact me!

My wife, Jane, and I love spending as much time as possible with our two sons and their families! I enjoy leading the Safety and Landscaping Ministries, and also serve on the Facility Ministry. If you have a calling to serve in any capacity, please let me know.

“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Acts 20:28
