It was at District Assembly in Indianapolis after hearing Dr. Carla Sunberg preach that someone in the crowd should raise their hand and answer the call to the ministry that Greta made that decision to finally say "yes" to what God was calling her to do. Greta's heart is with the families in our church. Helping moms and dads, grandparents
It was at District Assembly in Indianapolis after hearing Dr. Carla Sunberg preach that someone in the crowd should raise their hand and answer the call to the ministry that Greta made that decision to finally say "yes" to what God was calling her to do. Greta's heart is with the families in our church. Helping moms and dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles and beyond draw closer to Jesus, and thus, closer together. Greta just so happens to be married to our Lead Pastor Adam and the mom to three beautiful kids. Greta just received her very first local ministers license and has begun pursuing her ordination.
