What is your role at Grace Church?
I manage our church website and app development creatively and administratively. I also create graphics for communications.
Tell us about your family.
I grew up in Gladstone and was blessed to begin attending Grace Church with my family at age 5. I have two brothers who are both married and have blessed me with two beautiful, Godly sister-in-laws. In November 2023, our family celebrated the birth of the first grand-baby in the family (my nephew), Tobias. His name means "God is Good" and our hearts are so full of love and joy for our little guy.
A key passage or two of the Bible that has significantly impacted your life and ministry.
1 Corinthians 6:11 - "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
and
John 7:38 - "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
Who have been significant influences in your life as a follower of Jesus?
The Biblical characters Esther and David, my parents, Chuck & Kay Smith, Debbi Bryson, David & Ingalil Guzik, and Pastor Tim Haugen.
Go-to Worship Song?
Empty Me by Jeremy Camp & the lyrics to Your Love Oh Lord by Third Day are often on my mind.
What is your hope for Grace Church?
My hope for Grace Church is it that it would be a powerful, Spirit-filled channel of God's grace to the local community and larger U.P. area. My prayer is that when people visit, they would encounter & be transformed by the love and presence of Jesus through the worship and study of God's Word. My hope is that Grace would play a significant role in the tearing down of strongholds in the U.P. area of alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide through the power of the Holy Spirit.
