Asst. Director

Growing up no one in my family really went to

church, we were Catholic and saying that you

were affiliated with a religion was good enough.

At a young age God came to me and called me.

Since then I have been in pursuit of Him. I

found some friends that attended a church in

Stockton CA, and I was there every time the church doors were

open. I was involved in youth group, AWANAS, VBS, church

camp and everything else through my junior year of high school.

The summer of my senior year I decided I wanted to do my own

thing and left the church. I began partying, drinking, and doing

whatever I wanted. When I was 21 the Lord came to me as clearly

as he did when I was younger. He told me to stop living the life I

was leading and follow him. After a few months I had given up

everything in that old life and made my way back to the Lord. God

led me to the Manteca Church of God and I have been there ever

since. Pastor Tim Welsh and I were married October 7, 2003 and

we live our life out in a hectic fashion of ministry, secular work,

and whatever side project comes our way. We love to serve the

Lord together, which is the glue and the strength of our marriage.

We are blessed with our two-year-old son, Nathaniel.
