Personal Statement: Wasatch Hills Seventh Day Adventist Church

552 Words3 Pages

I recently received a notification of the job opening at the Wasatch Hills Seventh-day Adventist church and could not help but become deeply inspired and interested in the position. Over the past few months, I have been in deep thought about how to best serve the Lord as I end my journey here at the seminary. None of the positions that I have seen have really moved me strongly until I saw this one; it is the perfect niche of where I believe I could be of service.

I have a deep passion for youth, choosing to constantly serve in Sabbath School divisions since I graduated from high school. I love seeing youth grow closer to Jesus, each other, and their families, both church and literal. Working with young people of all ages has been the most satisfying …show more content…

This model, as a leader of the primary Sabbath School at Michiana Fil-Am Seventh-day Adventist Church, along with the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer led us to increase our attendance to around 6 to between 16-18.

In addition, I have served on the city council in Niles, MI. In this position, I have had the opportunity to make very good inroads with the community. I have been able to help serve the poor in the community as well as focus on legislative goals. This is why I believe I could be of valuable service in not only getting your youth engaged in active community service but organizing it in a way that would truly help the community and leave the youth feeling deeply satisfied with their

    Bethel Baptist Church never encountered a challenge like this before. The church accepted an invitation to participate in a mission in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Making an appearance in a foreign environment terrified both adolescents and adults. Even with those uneasy feelings, the congregation quickly zeroed in on the goal at hand in spreading God’s love to this needy region. With events such as church cleanup, food ministry, and disaster relief, the church left with a greater appreciation of life, and how lucky many of the citizens in the United States truly are.

    I have involved with music since I was a child, however, the thought of architecture and acoustics never came to mind. When it came to high school I soon realized that there were certain designs and elements that each venue had, but never thought much of it. Until this class I never knew how much went into the design of certain architectural structures such as music venues, offices, apartments, etc. Each structure has certain design elements that make them individually pleasing to the people who interact with them. One place that I found to be interesting in regards to the acoustics in a public venue is my church back home in St. Louis, Missouri.

    I have a heart for community service which led to participating in city-wide advocacy campaigns. One of the initiatives was advocating with the Alliance for Quality Education for Universal Pre-K in New York City. I travelled to Albany, NY to participate in an education rally and spoke with my assemblyman Herman Farrell, on behalf of the families of New York City, to gain his support for UPK. Within a year the initiative was approved, and the following school year the UPK program was implemented. As a leader in the social justice ministry of my church I coordinated a Sunday, with the New York City Department of Education representatives, which allowed them to speak to our congregation of over 9,000 members, and enroll children into pre-kindergarten the same day.

This award was the very first of its kind and I was speechless upon receiving it. Nevertheless, during my service, I occasionally felt like giving up due to the stress the job entailed, but I remained diligent and patient to the end.
