My faith journey began in the Southern Baptist church, where I first encountered the transformative love of Christ and the call to serve. Over time, my path led me to the PC(USA), where I found a theological home that emphasized grace, justice, and a deep commitment to serving those on the margins. In the Reformed tradition, I discovered a framework that not only honors God’s sovereignty but also calls us to engage with humility and compassion in addressing the needs of our neighbors. This journey opened my heart to the needs of people with special needs, immigrants, and low-income families—communities that reveal God’s image in profound ways. I feel called to serve these groups as part of my response to God’s love, believing that Christ is present in every act of justice and mercy, drawing us all into deeper communion with Him and with one another.
