My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest.

Beginning this early worship service provided an opportunity for many new people to serve as greeters, children’s department workers, ushers, and other positions as well.
