January Ministry update

 Hello Friends! I hope you all are doing well and that you had an amazing holiday season! Somehow this year has flown by and it’s 2026! I might not believe December even passed if it wasn’t for this blog! As we’re walking into the new year I want to take a moment to reflect on all God has done this year! 2025 had some awesome God deals and I can’t wait to see what he has planned for this year! December is a shorter month because of our holiday break… but lets reflect on a few of the things we did prior to all the holiday festivities! Christmas TNF For the past few years we have done a Christmas devotional in place of our last Thursday night fellowship. This year we reflected on certain scriptures that help us center in on the magnitude that the birth of Christ held. Gods people heard from him after over 400 years of silence through the cries of a baby. Pretty amazing if you ask me! It was sweet to get to fellowship and worship with our students one more time before the end of the s...

 Hello Friends I hope you all are doing well and had an amazing time celebrating Thanksgiving! I love the holiday season and the amount of reflecting it brings! I have so much to be grateful for and you, the people reading this are a huge reason. I love getting to do college ministry, and it wouldn't be possible without you! So I am thinking of you this holiday season!  God, as always moved in some cool ways this November and I want to share that with you!  ACC Bowling Night! The church that I attend here in Arlington hosted a bowling night for us to go to! It is always a way to connect with not only our church members but also our students! Brea and I get to study the bible together every week, and it was so fun to bet to bowl and go to the arcade with her as well!  Pizza Theo! Every semester we host pizza theology, where we as an entire ministry (all campuses) will study more in depth a book or topic! We normally will do 2 hours of lecture, 1 hour of pizza, and end...

November Ministry Update!

 Hello Friends! I hope y’all have had an amazing month! Welcome back to another monthly update about what God is doing at UTA and TCC! October is the ONLY month of ministry where we do not have a big event, retreat or school break! It always seems to feel like routine seems to be the perfect word for this month. Weekly times set with people always find their groove, and our cores (small groups) have a consistent flow! I feel as though God has been so visionary for this year and I love seeing it come to life!   Thank you! I feel as though God has been putting generosity on my heart more than ever this past month. As I have been thinking through ways God is inviting me into being more generous I think of you all. You have set a faithful example of what it looks like to know that what you have first belongs to the Lord! I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without your support, so thank you so much!  Hispanic heritage service! One of my favorite memories from this month was th...

October Ministry Update

 Hello Friends! I hope you are all doing well! September has flown by and I am amazed at how much has happened this last month! Schedules are setting and I have been able to settle into more of a routine which has been nice! My hours have looked a lot different this year since I am on campus for 40 of my 45 hours! So with all that… let’s dive in and talk about September!  Fall Camp! Our fall camp was early this year and fell on the last week of September! In the past we have had around 80 students attend, but this year we had over 130! What a blessing! The students were so engaged, whether it be with the worship, the sermons, or the community time! I always leave fall camp feeling more connected with the students and with a vision of what God is dreaming up for our campus this school year!  TCC! We got to officially start things at TCC and have now had 5 weeks of core (small group) there! We have had a consistent group of students attending and it has been so fun getting ...

Like this month, this year has flown by and wow did God do a lot! Well we have a lot of ground to cover for this month! Thank you! Before I can do anything I have to acknowledge you guys! This ministry would not be possible without God and his people. I am incredibly grateful to have to opportunity to do what I do and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of it. So thank you! I hope you see the fruit that will come of this year!  Summer Staff retreat!  We as a staff do a spiritual retreat together for a few days in the summer. We get together to rest, pour into each other and prepare for another year of ministry. Some of the senior staff will plan discussions, worship and talks for us. Here is our staff photo! Freshman Move-In! Every year our staff goes on campus to pass out waters and meet students on t...
