Words From Laura
I am passionate about helping people grow in their faith, kids and adults alike. I love the idea of stepping along side families as they undertake growing and guiding their kids, in order to help them develop a deep love for and close relationship with Jesus Christ. I love the thought of being a advocate to the parents of Summit View in their parenting journey.

Favorite Worship Song
It’s a toss up between two Chris Tomlin songs; Indescribable and Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone). I can’t help but close my eyes and worship when I hear either of those songs. (Though I wouldn’t recommend it while driving!)

Currently, my strong favorite is; Isaiah 61:1-3, verse 1 is especially encouraging to me right now, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners..."
