I grew up in Jefferson City in a strong Christian family. My parents joined Memorial Baptist 60 years ago, and I’ve always considered this church my extended family. I’ve served as church pianist for over 30 years and enjoy being part of the worship team and financial council.
For years I was convinced that teenagers “weren’t my thing,” but God started working on my heart, and he called me to youth ministry in 2020. Now I enjoy every minute studying the scripture and doing life with amazing teenagers.
My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 27 years, and we have two great kids. Rylee is a vocal music education major at University of Central Missouri, and Addy is a sophomore at Capital City High School.
My “other job” is running Firehouse Design, a graphic design and marketing firm. In my downtime, I enjoy working outdoors and taking road trips in our classic cars.
In Memorial’s Rooted Student Ministry, we embrace Colossians 2:6-7: Just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
