| What is your role in Connecting People to God in Practical Ways? Through the power of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, my role as Pastor of Congregational Care is to encourage people to achieve the plan of God in their life -- progressive sanctification. Pastoral care is most fundamentally a relationship—a ministry of compassionate presence, in a practical sense, during the ups and downs in an individual’s life. Until people "know how much I CARE – they will not care how much I know". |

|
| Fame, Footloose, Breakin' or Flashdance - Which one was better? Don’t know – didn’t watch those kind of movies. |
|
| What would people be most surprised to know about you? I’m a dare devil – I love to ride motorcycles; want to go up in a hot air balloon, and want to parachute out of an airplane. Also, in my "younger days" I was a very good athlete (volleyball, softball, basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, sprinter, badminton) |
|
| Best concert ever? Frankie Beverly and Maze |
|
| Favorite character in the Bible and Why? Peter; because of his boldness and his willingness to "fight for what he believed in" even if he didn’t have all the details; he was impetuous. |
