Bio
As a member of Greater Zion Baptist Church for 14 years, it has been an honor and a true gift from God to serve in my ministry role for the past 3 years. Under the leadership of my Pastor and guided by the power of the Holy Spirit, I have been blessed to combine my passion for God’s Word with my lifelong belief in the transformative power of education.
Believing that education is the movement from darkness to light, 2 Timothy 2:15 reflects my commitment to studying the Word and encouraging others to grow in biblical knowledge and spiritual maturity. Through studying God’s Word, we are brought out of darkness and into His marvelous light, equipped to rightly handle and skillfully teach the Word of Truth. I am blessed to be part of a talented ministry team who subscribe to this by exalting the Savior, explaining the scriptures, and equipping the saints.
Not only am I blessed to serve, but God has also graciously blessed me with phenomenal, gifted children, as well as amazing gran and great-grandchildren who bring joy to my life daily.
Hobbies & Interests
Studying the Word of God and enjoying time with family.
