Being on staff at Foundation is a homecoming for me....in more ways than one.  I was born and raised here in Temple, recently moving back after more than 30 years away.  I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus at an early age, was active in a local church and then felt called into special ministry as a teenager.  I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Howard Payne University, with a major in Christian Ministries and a minor in Bible.  My spiritual journey has taken many turns over the years, some guided by God and some by my own decisions....leading me to claim Jeremiah 29:11 as my life verse: "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."  I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to fulfill my calling by ministering to the ministers and supporting the mission of Foundation in becoming more Christlike and growing God's kingdom. 

I have an only son who lives in Tucson, Arizona...along with an only granddaughter.

I was raised in a happy, Christian home and accepted Christ as my Savior at age 9. I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with my Music degree. I have one son, Jacob. He is a Naval officer and lives with his wife, Trish in Florida. I recently married James Rogers. I feel honored and blessed to be a part of the Foundation family.

Partnering with the family to build up the next generation on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

I began working in Children's Ministries when I was a teenager through Vacation Bible School, summer camp, and Sunday school.  Over the years, I felt the Lord calling me into working with children on a regular basis and accepted a previous position as an Interim Children's Minister at another Methodist church.  When our previous Director of Foundation Kids, Kaylenn Henderson, felt God calling her into a full-time teaching position, I eagerly pursued this position.  I feel so blessed and honored to be leading the children of Foundation in weekly worship and the study of God's Word.  My desire is to bring the Gospel of Jesus to the next generation while also making our children's program both fun and entertaining so that we can reach children where they are. My young son, Michael Charles, helps me stay grounded and reminds me daily to view God's creation with new and awe-struck eyes.  I hold a Master of Arts Degree from Baylor University, and in addition to my work with Foundation Kids, I teach English at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.

I grew up in Central Missouri and came to know Christ when I was eight.  My mom was always adamant about going to church, therefore I got to see God work in my life and be involved in a great youth group.  I sensed God calling me to full-time ministry when I was in high school, and accepted that calling whole-heartedly.  I went to Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO and majored in Biblical Studies.  During college I met my wonderful wife Katie, and we were married in May 2004.  In the fall of 2005 I started seminary at George W. Truett Theological Seminary in Waco, TX.  I graduated with my Master's of Divinity in May 2009 and started working at Foundation in August 2009. 

I have a passion for students to know Jesus Christ for all that He is worth!  I desire to focus my life on teaching, discipling, and leading students to rely on God's Word, the Holy Spirit, and a faithful Christian community.  As a youth group, we spend a lot of time learning about God, how to live out our faith daily, and how to have a lot of fun!  If you are a student come check us out anytime!
