I’ve had a love for God and His son Jesus Christ since I was a little girl. I spent many years being religious and just “playing church.” When I was 31 years old, I was a single mom raising three sons and I finally decided to make Jesus the Lord of my life. It’s been a wonderful journey ever since.

In 2018, I was ordained as a Permanent Deacon. I provide pastoral support to Pastor Vangie and serve her and the congregation at Rising Sun Christian Community as a Deacon and Elder. I love Rising Sun Christian Community (RSCC) because just like Jesus, we welcome everyone just as they are without judgement. May God continue to bless RSCC. As a servant of the Lord, I too feel “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18-19 NIV
