I am beyond thrilled to be working in the office at GCA! I previously homeschooled my kids for 6 years and then we joined the GCA family last year. It didn’t take long for it to feel like home! As a pastor’s wife, I am very involved in different ministries at our church, including children's ministry and worship team. Sunshine, hiking, music, and Alabama football are some of my favorite things!
My theme verses for the year are Lamentations 3:22-24, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him. |
