Youth and
​Family Minister

I have recently been blessed to join the staff at CLC as the Youth and Family Minister. I am a native Texan, raised in a small town in West Texas called San Angelo, but Dallas is where I consider home.

I completed a BA in Biblical Studies and New Testament at Criswell College in Dallas, and will be completing an MA in Theology from Fuller Seminary in September. It has been the greatest joy of my life to serve as a pastor and teacher since 2015, and I am humbled and excited to join in on what God is already doing at CLC.
