Additional Information
I was baptized as an infant in the Methodist faith. Grew up going to a Methodist church and joined as a teenager. As and adult and parent, I joined a Nazarene church. I was in a community that offered an outreach program to school age children and my children wanted to go. I then got involved with the program and eventually joined the church and served on the Sunday school board and the church board. I was then baptized as an adult. Being baptized as an adult was a huge blessing in my life. God is good all the time and all the time God is Good.
