I. A. I accepted Christ at the age of six years old, understanding little as a child would of what such a decision entailed for the rest of my life. From what I can vaguely remember, I made the decision on my own and brought it up with my parents. they approved, and shortly thereafter was I cleansed of sin and given the gift of the Holy Spirit living within me. As with any follower of Christ, my baptism all those years ago and the Presence of God which has been with me ever since have been an integral part in my development as a disciple, and for my growth in knowing Him. B. The authority of scripture is unquestionably absolute. I believe that, thanks to the holy sacrifice of Christ, many rules introduced in the Old Testament apply only in abstract to life in today's world. The entire whole of the New Testament verily applies to our everyday lives, and should be looked upon in reverence for those seeking any form of wisdom. II. -Youth (group) and adult (Sunday service) worship, playing paino/keyboard, managing the sound board, mixing recordings -As a volunteer barista in our building's coffee shop -Creative team, which is in charge of our sermon series' look-and-feel -Our form of vacation bible school -Sound+music for KidStuf, a Sunday morning "show" for kids and their parents, with music, drama, and lessons III. I am interested most in helping out with worship (be it playing an instrument, working tech, etc.), but am definitely open to doing most anything else I can to help. I have a fairly decent grasp on the Polish language, and have been commended by past English teachers for my writing skills, therefore I may be capable in teaching English, although I have little faith in my teaching skills. IV. To be honest, my current personal goal in ministry is finding where God calls me to be. It may seem a self-oriented goal, but I'm not sure what else to aim for. I am therefore doing my best to go where the Lord sends me, regardless of my own feelings. But of course, in working for the Lord Himself, my goals inevitably include spreading His ways, that the many people I encounter may be saved. V. I have graduated from high school with a heavy focus on computer science and graphic design. I have also taken a year and a half of college at a local community college, with an intended major in game development/computer science, and a minor in music production and composition. I do not presently have a degree.
