I
began attending services here at
College Heights Baptist Church in
July of 2009 and began serving on
the Worship Team that August. When
my boyfriend Brian, who was the
Worship Leader at that time,
moved down to Ulysses, Kansas in
August of 2010 to begin his teaching
career, I took over as Worship Leader.
Growing up in Topeka, Kansas, I
was raised in a Methodist church.
I was baptized very young, but didn't
begin to fully understand my relationship
or connection with God until preparing
for Confirmation classes
the spring of my seventh grade year.
It was then when I truly learned
my worth. I began singing on our
Praise
Team and volunteered to help with
Vacation Bible School. My spiritual
life through high school had its
ups
and downs. My freshman year at K-State
was a new experience and I started
down a path that was unrecognizable.
Finally getting a grip on my life
and the people in it, I began to
go to church again and catching
up on my Bible readings.
I made some new friends and became
reacquainted with an old one, Jesus.
I am a senior in Music Education
at K-State,
which is fitting, because I always
feel the most connection with Christ
through music. I thank the Lord
for leading
me to College Heights where I feel
welcomed and have been given the
gift of praising His name in song!
