Pastor
Taylorsville Presbyterian Church
Taylorsville, N.C.

"My time at St. Andrews taught me much more than the basics of higher education and lessons learned from professors. I learned about the true love of friends and the value of respecting everyone you meet as God's children. The SAPC and Laurinburg communities showed me how to be a community leader who is not afraid to stand up for what is right and just. My compassion for others continued to grow during those years and I still practice it today. As a pastor, care and compassion are huge components of my ministry and the St. Andrews community was critical in helping me develop these characteristics. While in college, I did not know that God would call me to ordained ministry, but I am so thankful for the well rounded education I received and for the concrete lessons from my Business & Administration classes that I utilize daily!"
