"I believe God is, even now, beginning to unfold something amazing at 1st Church. As we journey together in love, work together for God's Kingdom, and resolve to stay focused and committed to God's vision for us, we will make a difference in the lives of people in Clarksburg, surrounding communities and around the world! I truly hope that you will join me in embracing this journey!"

"As we build the youth program back up, I humbly ask that anyone who would like to help in any way - whether it's working directly with youth, providing snacks, or helping to recruit volunteers - that you please reach out to let me know your interest in doing so. They say it takes a village, and I'd love to figure out what our village looks like so we can dig into planning"
