I was born and raised in Tampa, can you believe it?!  I have attended Bayshore for 18 years and on staff as Children’s Minister since 2007.  My wonderful husband, Randall, and my two children, Chandler and Kennedy, make me proud every day!  I love spending time with my whole family who luckily all live in Tampa – parents, brother and sister-in-law, 2 nieces and 2 nephews. 

WHY MINISTRY? I believe the greatest gift we can give a child is a strong Christian foundation.  For a child to have a relationship with Jesus he must first have an awareness of Him and the greatness of God.  That is why we teach babies through 5th graders about God.  The more they hear words from the Bible and learn about God’s love at a young age the better foundation they will have for growing spiritually as doubts and confrontations hit them through their teenage years. 

THE CHURCH I SEE :   I hope we continue living our mission here at Bayshore and not just encourage our members to come to church, but to BE the church, serving others and making a difference for His Kingdom.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT BAYSHORE?  The kids of course!
