I became an Ordained Minister online so that I could help guide people to our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am from Upland, CA

In my ministry, I aim to inspire and guide others in their spiritual journeys, helping them to discover and live out the fullness of God's love and purpose for their lives.

I am a Christian Minister with a strong foundation in the Christian faith. My faith journey has led me to embrace the Universal Life Church, where I continue to serve and spread the message of God's love and grace.

I firmly believe that the entire Bible is inspired by God, free from error, and serves as the ultimate authority on which we base our faith, conduct, and doctrine. However I believe interpretation is important and defer to the early Christians when interpreting scripture. My faith is rooted in the belief in one God who exists in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This Holy Trinity is central to my understanding of God's nature and His plan for humanity.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the cornerstone of my faith. I believe He came to earth as the Savior of the world, died on the cross, and shed His blood for our sins. Salvation, in my belief, is found by placing our faith in what Jesus accomplished through His sacrifice. Furthermore, I believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and eagerly anticipate His return.

Water baptism, to me, symbolizes the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and serves as a public testimony of our faith in the Lord Jesus. I believe that the Eucharist is a sacrament, a sacrifice, and a communion in which Jesus Christ is truly present under the appearances of bread and wine. In receiving the Eucharist, believers become united with Christ and with each other as part of his Body. The Eucharist is also a memorial of Christ's sacrifice on the cross and a source of spiritual nourishment.

I am committed to fostering a growing relationship with Jesus among believers by encouraging obedience to God's Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit, and striving to be conformed to the image of Christ. As children of God, I believe we are called to be overcomers and more than conquerors, experiencing the abundant life God has planned for each of us.
