About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Education
Location	Painesville, Ohio, United States
Introduction	I love to learn and am inspired by watching things grow-things like my garden,my houseplants,and people! For this reason, I'm passionate about serving as the Adult Life-Growth Coordinator here at THE GROVE. We call it Life-Growth, because we believe that when one decides to become a Christ follower, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in their life. It is His life in us that creates a desire for growth. Spiritual fruit will be evident as a natural result. Where there is life, there will be growth. Sadly, the opposite is also true. 1 Thes. 5:14 reads "Encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone." That is my continual prayer and goal as we work toward birthing warm and welcoming groups that foster meaningful connections in the context of safe community. In addition, my hearts desire is to see everyone at THE GROVE committed to discipleship and to doing life together in a Life-Growth group of their choice.
