Favorite Bible Verse: "The Pillar of Cloud was always in front of the people during the day, and the Pillar of Fire at night." Exodus 13:22
How you came to faith: I have gone to church my whole life, until I moved to Ohio I belonged to the same church that I was raised in. When I was in my 20's I found that I was missing something. The world was pulling me and pushing me. I found myself doing some things that were less than appropriate. Partying was a way of life. But I knew something was missing. Throughout these chaotic times I prayed and occasionally even attended my home church, but God was not at the center of my life. My aunt invited me to a Christian Concert; a speaker said somethings that really moved me....I wanted more. I reconnected with Christ and began to learn how to put God at the center of my life. I did not change overnight, I stumbled and still stumble, but God was always infront and behind me. (Hence my favorite scripture.) I continue to connect with God throughout my Spiritual Journey. I am always amazed at God's grace and mercy!! Praise the Lord!!
Vision for Stillwater: My prayer for Stillwater is that we become ever more expansive for the kingdom of God. That means that we strive to connect people with God. All people matter to God and therefore to us!!!
Favorite part of working at Stillwater: My ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
Brief Life Story: I was born in Georgetown, I moved to Dagsboro a small town just 20 minutes from Georgetown with I got married. My husband and I have two children. I still consider my hometown Georgetown, even though it has been years since I have lived there. It is a small town where everyone knows or is related to each other.

How you came to faith: I was taught early by the Sisters at St Clare School and no matter where I have gone or what I have done, I keep finding that they were truthful- God has always been present in my life, Christ has always been my brother, redeemer and friend. Even when we weren't talking much.

Came to Faith I grew up in a Christian home and lived at church since my dad was a pastor. I was influenced heavily by the people in my Anchorage church. They showed me an active faith that really meant something. I've also seen and experienced the reality of authentic grace that truly forgives.
Favorite part of Stillwater The staff are some of the funniest people I've spent time with. They love God and helping people draw closer.
Life Story I was born in Sidney, Ohio and moved to Alaska when I was 9. I graduated high school in 2001 and went to Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. I met Aaron there and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor's in Religion. We worked at churches in Cocoa Beach, Florida for a couple years before coming to United Theological Seminary here in Dayton. Now I'm a seminary student and realizing a dream I've had since high school. We love spending time with our dog, Callie.
