Summary

I'm passionate about seeing young people transformed by Jesus. I want to build teams and spaces where youth feel safe, encouraged, experience the love of Jesus and Christian community, and be challenged and equipped for an ever-changing world. I believe God has put a call on my life for the youth of Mount Albert Baptist, and that this position is an amazing opportunity to use my skills, experience, and love of learning to strength the youth group and wider church.
