born again Christian in the spring of 1980.
I currently attend Northview Church, Anderson campus. Started attending Northview upon
returning to Indiana from Florida in May 2015.
I have served as the Youth Leader, Sunday School Teacher, Sunday School Superintendent, and Church Board
Member during my years at MCON.
I have participated in three mission trips: Mexico, West Virginia, and Kazakhstan.
