I came into Academy with a calling and a passion for the local church, hungry for leaders to help fan that desire into flame. That’s exactly what Academy did. My leaders shared practical wisdom on building the church and gave me the tools to ignite a deeper vision for caring for God’s people. Even after walking with God for over 25 years, I discovered there was still so much more to learn about who He is and His heart for me. Taking a year to pursue God and grow alongside others was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
