Student Ministry

I am currently a student ministry resident at our Braselton campus. For me, ministering to students is about bringing both the truth and grace of Jesus Christ into their lives: Truth through biblically grounded and inspiring messages that are rooted in the Gospel, as well as teaching small group leaders in discipleship so that they can invest one on one with their students; Grace through being intentional in growing relationships with students and creating a community that says, “you belong here”. The main goal for each student is to leave the ministry with an in-depth understanding of who they are, who God is, and how the Gospel is good news for them.

I graduated from Ozark Christian College with a bachelor’s degree in bible and Christian Ministry with an emphasis in Student Ministry in 2021. I am currently working on my master’s in Ministry and Organizational Leadership from Indiana Wesleyan University. Please reach out if you are interested in connecting for job opportunities after the residency!
