Michelle first joined Lord of Life in 1998 and later became part of the leadership team in 2013. As the Executive Director, Michelle considers herself a steward of God’s gifts here at Lord of Life. “Our facility is a gift, our financial resources are a gift, our staff and leadership teams are a gift, our community is a gift, and each of our members is a gift. What I strive to do is take good care of each of these to be sure all of these gifts are here to support our main focus which is our ministry. I truly feel it is an honor to serve this congregation and watch God’s will be done!”
