As Director of Hospitality here at River Fellowship, I desire that our church reflect God’s spirit of love, joy, and peace; a church that embraces people, a place where people know they belong.

“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, …distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.” Romans 12:10-13

As a church body, we represent this verse well. God has knit together a beautiful body of believers here at The River. I hope you will come and experience it for yourself.

Praise God! I can’t remember a day when I did not know and love Jesus. I grew up in a Christian home with parents who served and ministered in our church and who modeled hospitality to me and others beautifully. I know that God has given me gifts and talents that He purposed in me to be an outpouring of His love to our congregation and community. Putting ministry, people, and plans in place is my purpose and calling here. My life’s verse that has always ministered to and spoken to me is John 15:5… “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Regarding my role and ministry here, if I abide in Him, it will bear fruit. Apart from Him, I will accomplish nothing…but…”In Him I can do all things.” Philippians 4:13

Whether it be creating beautiful, and comfortable spaces at our church, or welcoming our new visitors, or being alert to the needs of our body and caring for and serving them, or planning and organizing groups and special events that further the vision of our church, or encouraging others to plug in, use their gifts, and to serve, or representing River Fellowship in our community, my purpose and greatest desire is to see Jesus honored, and glorified, and peoples lives transformed.

I look forward to serving, fellowshipping, and worshipping with you here at River Fellowship.
