Mission of Work

I AM A DISCIPLE FOR LIFE & I am leading and guiding my children to be as well!

We are the family in church that brings our children's friends to church with us on Sunday trying to help spread the Word of God

Revitalizing our LCMS churches and bringing in younger members is critical for our congregations' survival. The younger generations are swayed by false doctrine and the "cool churches" whose Pastors are leading their flock astray!

WORD-WELLNESS-WITNESS
I want to help revitalize our congregations, be more involved in our communities to serve The Gospel of Jesus Christ and actively recruit younger generations (20''s-40's) in our communities to become members of our LCMS Congregations and fellow Christian Soldiers!

Challenges, Opportunities, and Goals

My goal is to utilize my financial expertise and help the NID make the best decisions for its congregation members, Pastors, and Leaders. To continue to grow in faith through education provided by my Pastor and self-study. Finally, leading by example for my children and continue to guide them in their faith and spiritual well-being.
