I’m a pretty big fan of Star Wars and dinosaurs. I team up with my wife, Jill, to raise our four kids (Teyla, Levi, Corban, and Quinn) and to look for ways to serve God, our church family, and the community around us. This passion for Jesus started the summer after eighth grade when he gave me life through an experience at Camp Joy El. Before that time, I was a pretty good kid, but I had some internal stuff going on (depression, hatred, loneliness) that was pretty deep for me. But that summer at camp, I felt Jesus ask me if I wanted to choose life with him or not, and by his grace I decided I did. I don’t think I expected a profound change, but in the months that followed I realized I felt like a different person. Depression turned to joy, hatred to love, and loneliness to connected relationships with my spiritual family and most importantly with Jesus. And He has been with me as my true source of Life no matter what happens!

We just started coming to LᴉfePoint in November 2019. Our first Sunday here, it already felt like home! I love the focus on how Jesus gives us Life, the emphasis on doing that Life together as a family, and the passion for reaching out to serve the community around us! We would love to have you come do Life with us, too!

In my free time I enjoy hiking, hunting, and video games. I grew up going to church with my grandma, but God never really meant anything to me at the time. I gave up my faith for a girl when I was in middle school which led to me become bitter towards God after we broke up. I was re-introduced to God in junior high when I realized that all of the beliefs I was trusting my life with weren't going to last. I became on fire for God and attended/served in youth up until now and have loved every minute of it! I’ve searched for ways to serve Him ever since which led me here to LᴉfePoint Church.

I grew up in a Christian household as the daughter of a pastor. I accepted Jesus at the age of 5. As I grew up, I began to become extremely distant from my family and struggled through my preteen years. I had stopped doing my devotions and was just going through the motions of Christianity. Then one night I was reading about Jesus' death on the cross and I felt the weight and impact that Jesus died for me specifically! That night I surrendered my entire life to Jesus. My relationship with my family was restored and I felt a calling to live for Him. 

I married my husband, Aaron, and we have four beautiful children! We came to LifePoint in 2019 and as soon as we walked in the doors, I felt God's pull towards being a part of this ministry and church. I love seeing authentic love for Jesus and others and hearts passionate about reaching the lost! It has truly been an honor to serve alongside this church.

I was saved at the age of four after a VBS program at church. At that age, I was afraid of not going to heaven. For that reason, anytime a pastor asked, “Would anyone like to be saved?”, I would say the prayer quietly to myself again. You know, just in case. 

Since then, my faith has grown through going to Lancaster Bible College, marrying my husband, Wes, helping in youth group, having children, and moving from Maine to Chambersburg to be closer to Wes’s work.

This move, in particular, developed a new level of faith and dependency on God. We visited LifePoint, and the friendships we made here served as Christ-like examples of His love. I was softened to listen and apply things more readily that I was learning. This created in me a desire to rededicate my life to Christ. As part of that rededication, I was baptized again. I am thankful to be able to use my experience in office administration at LifePoint Church and be a part of the “because eternity is at stake” team.

My husband and our four daughters — Kylie, Kaylie, Brooke, and Brianna — are true blessings in my life. We also have two dogs, Kevin and Cooper, and they are our snuggle buddies. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, singing (especially harmony), listening to music, playing sports and exercising, and adventuring outdoors. I am excited to “do life together” at LifePoint Church and for all that God has in store!
