Dreams I have for WPCOC:
I dream of a church where each person is growing daily into the image of Jesus Christ. I dream of a church equipped to live out the mission of Jesus in the greater Fresno area. I dream of a church that continues to be multi-ethnic, equipped to reach across the multicultural tapestry of our community. I dream of a church that highly prizes every child, every marriage, every person, every family, and every lost soul.

Baseball (especially Texas Rangers baseball), Turkey Hunting, Coaching Trae's softball team, Reading, Spending Time with my girls.
Favorite Bible Verse:
"The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4.4). I love this verse because it reminds me that the empowering, indwelling Spirit is stronger than the adversary. I am strengthened to overcome Satan attempts to nullify my faith because the one living within me is greater.
