Objective:To fulfill God's will in my life through using my gifts of leadership,

teaching and creativity within a local church context. I believe the Church isGod's chosen agent for postive change in our world. It is my desire to lead aministry that shows people Jesus through meeting their needs in practicalways and through preaching the Gospel in innovative ways.

What Im About:Teaching - I am able to take the timeless truths of the Bible and teach

them in creative ways so that people of different levels of spiritual experience

can learn and apply them to their lives.Leadership - I am able to strategically lead people through relationship

into discovering their own gifts and using them for Christ. I am able to dealwith the tough issues and seek to constantly answer the 'why' of what we do.

Mission - I believe in the central truth of the Gospel and that whatpeople need is Jesus. I also recognize the practical needs of people and thatwe are called to meet those needs.

Vision - Without vision, the people perish. I believe in the vision of thechurch as a world changing, Christ loving group of imperfect people who havebeen called to work as a team to reach their world for Christ.
