FBC Youth

Hey PFBC Youth Parents!

It is with great pleasure to God and His shepherding in my life that I came to Porum First Baptist in February of 2022. Shortly after coming here, through prayer and eagerness to serve, I started sitting in on some of the Wednesday night youth sessions. As soon as I started helping our former Youth Pastor on a regular basis, I knew that fire to serve the youth was stoked again. I continued to help Josh throughout 2022 with events, Falls Creek, Sunday School, and filling the pulpit a few Wednesdays and Sunday School.

Just a little about me so you know who is leading your child: I was born and raised in Warner, OK by a great Christian family. I did end up moving to Virginia my last three years of high school where I attended and graduated Atlantic Shores Christian high school before moving back home. When I arrived back in my home town I continued to faithfully attend Warner First Baptist, where I had been baptized in 1998 shortly after my little sister had passed away in a tragic accident when I was in Warner and not traveling.

I started serving in youth ministry at a former church, after praying out to God to find me a place to serve him. In 2017 after helping with a few events around the church such as VBS I was approached to be a youth leader. After prayer i knew God was calling me to serve as a youth leader. After spending several years as a leader and getting shepherded by the Youth Pastor, God gave me the opportunity to spread his word through a variety of events such as youth mission trips to Iowa, Falls Creek, YEC, and other places and served as interim. I had the chance to serve as a interim Youth Pastor for a period during the pandemic, until the had decision was made by the pastor to shut the youth down for several months.

I have now enrolled in seminary at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and will have my BA in Christian Ministry very soon. Looking forward to serving with PFBC for a long time and letting God make big things happen in in 2023!
