​

Pastor Nicole’s life began to take shape when she turned seven years old.  Gifted with a bible by her mom she spent most her time in her room reading the red words in that Bible, sparking her interest.  Those red words told her to do good to please God and it taught her how to pray.   It was through scripture, she learned how to seek God’s comfort in the midst of every storm.  Like most individuals, she has suffered unexpected, significant personal tragedy that affected her entire family emotionally and financially. What is critical, but often avoided, is the experience and willingness to share strategies that instruct others how to overcome unexpected disasters that can stagnate one’s personal life because of a crisis. “How does one pick up the pieces of their life and move toward their ordained purpose?” She can answer those questions and put into perspective the necessary steps to begin the recovery process.
