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!
