I am the Lead Pastor at HFA Church and have served in ministry since the spring of 2005. I have been working full-time at HFA Church since January 2015, serving as both youth pastor and associate pastor. In 2021, I received an ordination credential from the Assemblies of God and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Ministerial Leadership through Ascent College. I have served as a character coach through the fellowship of Christian Athletes with Turner Ashby High School; coached girls’ basketball at Cornerstone Christian School and love playing drums. My real passion is leadership, where I focus on the empowerment and development of others through training and mentorship. Over my fifteen-plus-year career as a youth pastor, I directed students and leaders toward personal growth. I have seen many former students pursue solid leadership positions in their careers or bio-vocation.  My goal as a pastor is to direct individuals into a deep relationship with Jesus. I want to empower our leaders to use the talents and gifting’s that God has given to them.

I’ve been part of the HFA family since 2006, beginning in No Limitz Youth working with the worship team. Since then, I’ve transitioned from part-time worship leader to full-time Music and Media Director—an amazing journey filled with growth and grace.  In 2011, I met my husband, Steven, right here at HFA. We were married later that year and now have three wonderful children—Skylar, River, and Barrett—who keep our lives full of laughter, energy, and chaos. After Sunday service, you’ll usually find me herding them like cats while still trying to say goodbye to five people at once.
When I’m not leading worship or wrangling HDMI cables, I’m probably enjoying a Hallmark Christmas movie, devouring Mexican food, or sneaking a bag of Nerd Clusters. I love the Lord deeply, and worship is my heartbeat. It’s not just something I sing—it's how I live. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to serve both God and this incredible church community.

I was born in the Shenandoah Valley, moved away as a teen and returned in 2011.  I am married to Bobby and have two children, Gail and Landry.  My passion is Outreach to our local community, visiting, and welcoming our newcomers to HFA!  I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the staff here at HFA. 

I was born and raised in Harrisonburg, VA.  I helped run a concrete business for the past 28 years with my husband.  I currently live in Rockingham County with my husband Russell and our 3 fur babies, Bella, Abbie, and Kinzie.
