How did you first hear of LCM? My pastor told me about it and recommended I check it out.
What makes you come back every week? Well, now I keep coming back each Wednesday because I’m involved in the praise band, playing the piano each week and singing. However, before I was involved in the music I kept returning because of the very genuine people and inviting atmosphere.
What has been your favorite part of LCM? Germany! It was a once in a lifetime experience! I will never forget it and would love to travel out of the country with LCM again. I also enjoy jamming with the band each week.
Who has had the most impact on your faith? My home pastor, Paul Nelson. When I was a high school sophomore he encouraged me to be part of Tirosh which has been a wonderful experience for me. He also invited me to be a leader in Campfirmation where I helped lead the music. There I also met LCM students and leaders for the first time.
What has been your biggest challenge in college? Finding the right educational path for me has been the biggest challenge. With a change to music therapy I think I have finally found the correct path.
How has LCM helped you with your college life? When I have a stressful week it is good to come on Wednesday to get away from the stress and be with genuine people in a very inviting environment. This has been a very important community to me.
