I serve as the Lead Pastor at Refuge Community Church. I am a 2008 graduate of the University of Valley Forge (formerly Valley Forge Christian College) with a bachelor’s degree in Youth Ministry and minor in education. I was the Youth Pastor at Cornerstone Assembly of God from 2009-2015. I then became the Associate Pastor at Trinity Assembly of God where I served from 2015-2021 until I was voted in as the Lead Pastor and served there until December 2025. I am mom to Olivia and Judah. I love all things coffee and I am so excited for what God is going to do in and through the Refuge church community!

I serve as the assistant pastor at Refuge Community Church. My ministry journey began as a young adult, teaching various Sunday school classes and filling in as a guest speaker at my church. In 2020, I felt a clear calling from God to pursue full-time ministry and enrolled at Ascent college, where I earned a degree in ministerial leadership, graduating in 2023. I became licensed in May 2025. It is my heart‘s desire to see Refuge Community Church grow into a place marked by love and grace, where people can encounter Jesus and learn the truth of God‘s word. I have been married to my wife, Laura, for nearly 30 years. We are blessed with two daughters, Bethany and Alyvia, two sons- in-law, Colby and Jared, and a grandson, Callahan.

I serve as the worship leader at Refuge Community Church.  I have loved to sing my whole life, but I learned a love for worship at a young age at New Life Bible Camp.  I started assisting in leading worship there in high school and also served on the worship team at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship in college.  I was a part of the worship team at New Beginnings Community Church and Trinity Assembly of God.  I became the worship leader at Trinity in 2021 and served there until 2025.  I am very excited to be a part of what God is doing at Refuge Community Church.  It is my desire to lead us in worshiping the Lord together with praise and worship songs reflecting truth.  I live in Frostburg with my husband, Charlie, and our kids Wyatt, Emma, and Max.

I am the children’s church leader here at Refuge Community Church. I have served in this area of ministry for many years. I love to see the kids get excited about Jesus and grow in their faith. Please reach out to me or come talk to me if you would like to be a part of our children’s church program at Refuge.
