Family

My family and I live just outside of Nashville, and we love it (Minus the traffic. I love you, but please don’t move here). We love flea markets, are one of the few remaining people who watch Survivor religiously, and unfortunately always seem to "donate" to the local gym rather than actually go. My husband, John, works in student camps ministry and we have three children: 9, 8, and 3: two who joined our family by biology and one through the glorious gift of adoption.

Theological Training

I hold a Bachelors in Christian Studies and also in English, a Masters in Theological Studies at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, and am about halfway through the PhD program in Theological Studies with a Systematic Theology emphasis at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Statement of Faith
I believe that Scripture is absolutely inerrant; God is immeasurably kind; and trusting Jesus and the work He did on the cross in our place to pay for sin is the only way to be made right with God. I believe that a right understanding of these foundational doctrines will result in worship and obedience in our lives. I love the church because Jesus has chosen the church to be His bride, and one day, Jesus will return to be with His church forever.

Church Involvement
My family serves at Fairview Church in Lebanon, TN where I teach second grade Sunday school each week, write d groups curriculum, serve on the women’s ministry team, and lead a d group on Wednesday nights. We love our church and we moved to Lebanon because I served as the interim children’s minister at Fairview for a few years and we felt right at home, so we’re still there, long after this interim role ended.
