  • Associate Pastor (working with teens)

    I know what you're thinking, how on Earth did this Star Wars loving man who looks 18 end up in the ministry? As a kid I had a passion for wanting to make an impact in the world. I encountered God at the age of 16 in London, England in 2012. Then I received the call to ministry a year later while in Basic Training at Fort Benning, GA. I am now the Associate Pastor & Youth Minister at Celina Nazarene Church. My heart is to go beyond the walls of the church and help people connect to God in ways they never thought possible.
