Q: When did you become a Christian?

A: I was raised in a Christian home and accepted the Lord at a young age prompted by a show about the Easter story.  At age 13 I asked God to show me he was real.  I didn't want to believe just because my entire family did and because it was what I was raised in.  He answered my prayer.  That’s when I decided to be baptized.

Q: How long have you been in ECC Attleboro? What kind of community is ECC to you?

A: 22 years. Right from the beginning, we loved ECC because it was a beautiful blend of my Evangelical and Kevin's Catholic upbringing.  We had searched for a church for a full year.  Coming to ECC felt like coming home.  We knew it was where we were meant to be.  

Q: What role have you been serving in ECC Attleboro? 

A: Currently I teach Sunday School for the middle/high school group and am part of the prayer team.  I also babysit Sam on Sunday evenings so Cortney can serve at youth group along side Pastor Chris.

Q: Other volunteer roles? 

A: Over the course of 22 years, I have volunteered/participated in Choir, Nursery, VBS, Fall Fair, Trunk or Treat, Decorating for Christmas, making signs, baking for Care packages for college kids/youth group snacks/homeless outreach, Stewardship committee, executive board, search committee, various bible study groups.

Q: What keeps you going and serving? 

A: We are called by God to serve and to be a community of believers.  Our faith walk is not meant to be done alone.  We are not meant to be stagnant but to constantly be in His word and growing.

Q: Would you like to share any message with people exploring faith or returning to faith? 

A: Keep your eyes focused on Jesus.  Make Him the center of all you do.  Persevere.  There is life changing power in walking with God.

Q: What would you like to say to people who are considering checking out ECC Attleboro?

A: It is God who brings hope and life.  We encourage and support one another as we face the challenges this world gives.
