Hey everybody! I've been a part of the Vilonia Nazarene Church for over 20 years. I grew up in Vilonia and this is home. I went to college at ASU and have a Master's in Elementary Education. Right now, I teach 3rd grade at Vilonia Elementary. We have several different places where your child(ren) can be involved so come and see us sometime!
I also am the missions president. We work to support the General Nazarene Church through prayer and offerings. We regularly have missionary lessons and guest speakers. If you have any questions about the Nazarene church and our missions let me know.
