Responsibilities
I have worked as the Office Admin for Genesis since 2006. I am responsible for the office and accounting responsibilities of the church.
Family
I am married to David, who coordinates the van drivers and worship set-up every Sunday. We have 2 grown sons: Alex who helps with sound equipment and/or plays bass in the band; A.J. who is married to Lily – they are the parents of our 3 grandsons, twins Jesse and Charlie, and their little brother, Sam (let me just say grandkids are SO MUCH fun!!).
What Genesis Means To You
We have been a part of Genesis since the very beginning, feeling the call to be part of the adventure as Mike and Heidi and the initial team began the launch process. We still feel that call to be part of God’s work in Eureka. Genesis is our home and our family.
Favorite Scripture
“Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” – Jeremiah 33:3
Psalm 139, especially v. 16: “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” I love this Psalm because it reminds me nothing surprises God, He has a plan, and even when I don’t understand circumstances, He is in control.
Favorite Reads
I love to read. John Grisham is my favorite non-fiction author. I recently read (again) The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom with my book club.
Favorite Movies
Living in a house of all boys I have watched lots of action films: James Bond, Star Wars, Marvel, etc. I’m ok with almost anything except gore and lots of guts (a little bit of guts can be tolerated). If I’m picking, it’s probably a rom com and always a happy ending.
What You Enjoy
Spending time with the grandsons (happy to show pics anytime), crocheting, playing Candy Crush Soda Saga and Wordscapes, watching the Cardinals, the Blues, and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Where You Grew Up and What You Did As A Kid
I grew up in House Springs through eighth grade. My family moved to Colorado for 10 years, so I went to high school there. I moved back to MO in 1982, met David at Ballwin Baptist Church and married in 1983, and was there when Mike Hubbard came as Youth Pastor when our boys were just entering their teens.
Hope For Genesis
As shared in the core beliefs of Genesis, I want our church to make a difference in the Eureka Community, the greater STL area, nationally and internationally. I want our church family to make all these places better because we lived and shared the Gospel of Jesus and His love.
