"I am excited for this opportunity to lead our church through this transitional time.  We have been hit hard with Covid, but I know my God is bigger than Covid, and I know our people are hungry for the word of God.  My mission and goal for the church is to 'Do a little more' each day!  If we can hold to that we can change the world!"
