Our story began on June 16, 2021, at a church conference in Tampa, FL. From the moment we met, the Lord knit our hearts together in a way that only He could. Just a week later, Zach made the trip to Valdosta to meet my parents and take me on a date. The very next weekend we enjoyed our first Braves game together. By then, we both felt a deep certainty that this was something truly special and meant to last forever.

On July 11, 2021, I joined Zach and his family at a lake in Alabama for a vacation that would turn out to be even more memorable than I had imagined. It was there, on a dock at the lake, that Zach asked me to be his girlfriend—a moment that marked the beginning of our love story.

As we navigated long-distance dating, we found joy in discussing our future together, knowing that our shared passion for ministry was a central part of our lives. The Lord has blessed us with the opportunity to serve in our churches, and we are excited about the next chapter of our lives that will allow us to serve together at Pinecrest.

Zach will serve as the Student and Worship Pastor, and I will have the privilege of serving alongside him. We eagerly look forward to what God has in store for us and pray that He uses us in Only God sized ways.

Thank you for being a part of our story. We can’t wait to share this special day with you and to start this new chapter of our lives together.
