Worship is the act of giving God His rightful place in our lives. As Worship Ministry Coordinator, it is my desire to coordinate the sub-ministries of Music, Media/AV, and Sound together to enhance the corporate worship experience and help encourage a life of worship beyond the walls of New Crossing Church. As we worship together, I trust that God will open our hearts to His Word and give us the will and wisdom to apply it to our lives every day.

New Crossing Church is a praying church and I am privileged to be a part of this vital ministry. Prayer is the calling of the church.

FREEDOM!!!!!! I am extremely passionate about women living their lives in freedom (Galatians 5:1). Having lived most of my life covered in shame and deception, I have experienced true and lasting freedom because of Christ. My greatest joy is seeing others experience this same freedom, too!

I love being a part of the worship ministry at NCC! Never would I have imagined that I’d be leading worship. In fact, when I was in high school I refused to sing because I didn’t believe I could. Yet the Lord knew otherwise, and through a series of many little steps over many years, He has brought me to where I am today. I’m grateful to the leadership of NCC for seeing a gift in me that I didn’t…

Matthew 10:40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.” I love welcoming people into my home! I love to cook and make my home an inviting place. You could say it is one of my love languages. I also love welcoming people into the Father’s house. It’s the little touches that make a house a home. A smile, a warm cup of coffee, and an introduction to another brother…
